Thrift & Grift

About the Game

Their trash, your treasure. You have $40 and a landlord who raises the rent every week. Thrift & Grift is a thrift-flipping roguelike: rummage mystery bags for secondhand treasure, fix it up, and sell it for more than you paid. Make rent for 12 weeks and the building is yours. Then the real game begins.

Every week brings a new venue: a thrift store, a flea market where every seller haggles, an estate sale with two pieces in every lot, and designer consignment, where the Grails are real and so are the fakes. Shake a bag and tear it open. There are 41 kinds of finds, from Common tees to Grails worth ×14, plus knick-knacks with makers' stamps to appraise.

Every hole halves the price, so get to the workbench.

• Patch a hole by tracing one loop around it. Use scraps of the same fabric and the mend disappears. In a hurry? A quick mend patches every hole for one action point.

• Restyle pieces into whatever is trending: 15 styles from Y2K to Dark Academia, plus fads and seasons.

• Iron on cute patches, or cut up junk for fabric scraps.

Twelve designer houses, each with its own brand guide. Compare the label: a misspelled "Maison Orle" is a knockoff. Then flip the Pass as real switch and sell it anyway. It pays, until a buyer notices: a refund, bad reviews, and every fake after that gets caught more often. Knick-knacks get the same treatment: scrub the grime off the maker's stamp and call it genuine or reproduction. A fast, correct call sells for ×1.2.

List each piece as Quick, Fair or Stretch, buy ads, and read your buyer reviews the next morning. Grow from a market stall to a fashion house. Rent comes due every three days and climbs every week. Pay week 12 rent and the landlord sells you the building.

Retire a winner, or keep going. In Endless, rent climbs 27% a week, forever. Every rent night opens the perk shop: 112 perks and tools with multipliers that stack. Showstopper makes every other perk stronger, Weird flex pays ×3 for Haunted and Suspiciously Damp pieces, and Lucky seven makes every 7th sale ×7. Find a build that grows faster than the rent. The landlord always wins. Eventually.
