Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.57/day in the week to Sep 14 → 0.83/day in the week after.

Unfortunately the game is buggy, making it not worth my time. Examples include: transport company randomly stops delivering, causing a max fill situation, or a river smuggling point doesn't count any of the products that are being delivered. The game could be fun, it is addictive to play; however, these bugs and many others simply makes this game not very good.
Enjoyable but unfinished production chain management game. You have to really micro manage if you want something done manually. But trying to set up the chain is a lot of work without any statistics or priority toggles. And filling up a warehouse imposes a penalty, even if not over-filled. Only way to prevent that is manual micro management.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Its a cool game but the AI doesn't do anything. They don't develop buildings, produce resources, nothing. The only purpose they serve is just once in a while you will get a dialogue from them and they will periodically send a gang to raid you, but that's about it. Lost interest when I realised that.
Soy de España pero con familiares lejanos in-law en Bolivia, gracias a este juego ahora tengo temas de los que hablar con ellos, gracias Cartel Tycoon.
Pretty sure the devs haven't bothered to play the game, or they wouldn't have goals in the story mode that make you build inefficiently, creating pointless setups that require you to back through and delete after forcing the game onto the next step. Not to mention the VAST amount of ♥♥♥♥ mechanics that just drag the game into a micro-min ♥♥♥♥ storm that gets old after two hours, i.e. LT loyalty, dirty money management. Trash
Just uninstalled the game, again. There is a reason you get an achievement for quitting the game using alt + f4.

"Rich Babysitter Simulator" Upgrade your freaking AI plz... My gangs literally stand by and watch how the rival gang burn my warehouse. Imagine the drug lord being bullied by the cops and his ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gang boys are all acting retarded. (Yes he got couple of millions by selling drugs and money laundry but still can't make a dirty deal with the cops.) Don't talk to me about the bribe,.. you can only do that after they closed down your business. (Then wait for tens of days, what's the point tho)
¿Plata o plomo?
Love selling weed and cocaine to Americans and using the profits to buy gaming consoles and tvs from other cartel gangs, then donate them to prisoners. Yes, i am a good person.
