# How To Play
### Objective
Beat the market by strategically trading cryptocurrency assets within a limited time frame.
### Game Setup
1. The game starts with a fixed amount of **10,000 USD** assigned to your portfolio and to the market.
2. You'll be presented with a selection of cards representing tokens
3. The market portfolio will randomly assigned a % allocation to each assets while you need to create your portfolio to beat it.
### Gameplay
#### 1. Start the Game
* Click the "Start Game" button when you're ready to begin.\
* The timer will start counting down from 30 seconds.\
#### 2. Allocate Your Portfolio
* You'll see a list of asset cards, each representing a different cryptocurrency.\
* Allocate your virtual currency across these assets:
* Click the "+" button to increase allocation to an asset.
* Click the "-" button to decrease allocation.
* Use the "Max" button to allocate all available funds to a single asset.
* Click the "x2" to apply a multiplier to the position.
#### 3. Monitor the Market
* Watch the real-time chart showing your portfolio performance (green line) against the market (purple line).\
* Keep an eye on individual asset performances and their price changes.
#### 4. Trade and Adjust
* Reallocate your funds between assets as the market changes.
* Use the "Shuffle" button to get a new set of asset cards if you're not satisfied with the current selection. This will also reallocate the portfolio
#### 5. Use Leverage (Advanced)
* Some assets may have a "Leverage" option.
* Activating leverage can multiply your gains, but also your losses.
* Use leverage cautiously as it increases risk.
#### 6. Manage Your Time
* Keep an eye on the timer at the top of the screen.
* Make quick decisions as the market can change rapidly.
#### 7. Game End
* The game ends when the timer reaches zero.
* Your final portfolio value will be compared to the market's performance.
### Winning the Game
* You win if your portfolio value exceeds the market value at the end of the game.
* The bigger the difference between your portfolio and the market, the better your performance.
### Tips for Success
1. Pay attention to trends in the price chart.
2. Don't put all your funds into a single asset unless you're confident in its performance.
3. Use the shuffle feature if you're not happy with the available assets.
4. Be cautious with leverage - it can lead to big gains but also significant losses.

* **+/-**: Increase/decrease allocation to an asset
* **Max**: Allocate maximum available funds to an asset
* **Dump**: Remove all allocation from an asset
* **Shuffle**: Get a new set of asset cards
