Jane Street's fast-paced Figgie card game simulates exciting elements of markets and trading.
Invented at Jane Street in 2013, Figgie was designed to simulate open-outcry commodities trading. Players negotiate trades for cards of different suits over a series of rounds. Like in poker, your objective in Figgie is to make money.
Most of the skill in Figgie is in negotiating trades that benefit both the buyer and seller.
Each Figgie deck contains 40 cards of four suits: two 10-card suits, one 8-card suit, and one 12-card suit. The suit matching each count is random and not known to the players until the end of the round. Only one special suit, the goal suit, has any value. Players attempt to deduce the goal suit while buying and selling cards.
Figgie can be played by 1 to 5 players.
At Jane Street, Figgie is a game we teach and really enjoy playing. Join us!
This game was incredibly fun to play and well-designed. Very fast paced action with intuitive UX. The big issue is that it crashes constantly and I get messages that I can’t connect to the server while I’m unable to log in
High power consumption
wkroach
Great game, great UX, but the power consumption is so high for such a light game app. 1-2 rounds make my iPhone heating up quickly. Better to optimize the app a bit
Buggy

Bid and selling UI glitches
Bad Account UX
Tinathir
Really dumb account generation process makes it possible for a guest account to consume a user name. It’s downhill from there. Read the LessWrong entry on this and think hard about whether these are really the kind of people you want to hang out with.
4 new achievements to chase.
