About the Game

Current Affairs is a simplified model of a modern electricity market. Each player is assigned generators with randomised types and capacity limits. Your goal is to maximise your profits by bidding strategically into the market each round.

The market uses uniform pricing — the most expensive generator whose energy is needed to meet demand sets the price for everyone that round. Real-world events (demand spikes, policy changes, generator outages) will shake things up, so adapt fast or fall behind!
