What you can do on this website

Explore the artwork, cities, characters and sample trading desk. The displayed market prices, cash, debt and cargo figures are illustrations. Clicking the preview does not place a trade, create an account or change a game balance.

Keep the fiction in the game

Mandi Wars is a strategy game set in an imaginary Indian trading world beginning in 1980. Its characters, news, encounters and underground goods are fictional entertainment. The game does not offer real contraband or instructions for real-world crime.

Game cash has no cash value

Rupee and paise displays describe fictional game amounts: 100 game paise make one game rupee. Game cash, bank balances, goods, loans, debts and rankings are not real money, investments or goods you can collect.

• There is no cash-out, redemption for money or prizes, or real-money wagering in the game design.
• Do not buy or sell accounts or game assets for real money, advertise off-platform cash trades, or arrange wagers around game results.
• A fictional loan is repaid with game cash. It does not create a real-world debt owed by you.

Read the deal before confirming

Markets have limited stock, demand and buying budgets. Your available cash, goods and storage space also limit what you can trade. Prices and opportunities can change; refreshing a screen does not guarantee a better deal.

• Check the product, location, whole-unit quantity, total price and fees before accepting a quote.
• A quote or estimate is not a completed trade. If it expires or is rejected, review a fresh quote.
• Partial fills require your permission when that option is available. Check the completed receipt to see what actually traded.
• Good decisions can still lead to game losses. A price seen before a journey is not a promise of the price when you arrive.

Know where your goods are

Carried cargo, goods stored in a local godown and goods in transit are different. A godown stays at its location. Travelling to another city does not bring its stock with you.

• Cargo must be empty before personal travel; store or dispatch it first.
• Check storage weight and reserved arrival space before buying, moving or sending goods.
• Personal travel and freight shipments are separate actions. Review the displayed fee, duration, destination and any risk before confirming.
• Use the cancellation options actually offered for an action. Do not assume a confirmed trip or shipment can be cancelled or refunded.

The world keeps moving

The shared world continues while you are away. Accepted travel and shipments can complete, market conditions can change and existing commitments can reach their deadlines. Changing your device clock does not advance game time.

• Shipments and encounters can involve game risk, including loss of goods. Review the information shown before accepting the action.
• Refreshing or repeating an accepted action does not give you a new roll of its outcome.
• Offline trading requires a standing order you explicitly create, where that feature is enabled. Review its quantity, price limit, reserved resources, expiry and partial-fill setting.
• A standing order may remain unfilled if suitable stock, demand, funds or capacity are unavailable. It does not guarantee a profit.

Borrow with a plan

Banking and lenders use fictional game cash. The current design gives ordinary bank balances no interest. Available loan amounts, fees, repayment dates and game consequences are shown in the applicable offer.

• Read the full repayment amount and due date before accepting a loan.
• Keep enough available game cash for commitments you choose to make.
• Deposits, loan limits and consequences follow the current in-game rules. Sample figures on this website are not an available loan offer.

Compete fairly and respect people

Use approved game interfaces and follow the published rules. Cooperation through permitted game features is welcome; cheating and abuse are not.

• Do not exploit bugs, use unauthorized trading bots, duplicate assets, tamper with the client to bypass limits, or manipulate rankings through coordinated abuse.
• Do not share or sell accounts, impersonate staff or other people, or use another account to evade a restriction.
• Do not harass, threaten, discriminate, scam, spam, share malicious links or expose another person's private information.
• Do not use role-play, messages or crew activity to request, advertise or arrange real-world illegal transactions.
