Pawn Boss

You’ve just taken over Gold & Pawn: one counter, bare shelves and a little cash in the drawer. Sal, the old owner, calls from Florida to check on you. Every customer brings a story and a price.

APPRAISE. Over 2,000 things to look at: watches, guitars, cameras, coins, furniture, gold, memorabilia and the odd motorcycle. Turn it over, read the card, weigh the gold and test it with acid, plug in what plugs in, and call the expert when you’re not sure. A dusty find might clean up better than it looks.

HAGGLE. Dial in your offer on the register and watch their face. Go too low and they walk. Check ClutterBid to see what the same thing really sold for.

GROW. A gold case, a guitar wall, a pawn room for loans, an office for online selling and bulk auctions, Sal’s old safe to crack, the place next door with a roll-up door for the big stuff, and finally the whole building. Then climb the rankings.

A TOWN THAT TALKS BACK. Regulars with their own stories, a shop TV with local ads, seasons and snow, and a dog who wanders in every morning.

Play seated or standing with Touch controllers. Smooth walking with an optional comfort vignette and snap turning.
