## What is Dope Wars (Weed Edition)?

The good news - you have $2,000 in cash, and licenses to legally trade. The bad? You owe $5,500 to Dishonest Harry, a not-too-friendly loan shark, interest is piling up, he'll be visiting you soon for his money, and he owns a chainsaw! Just sayin'. You only have one choice - dive into the world of wholesale trading of weed to make money fast and save your skin!

As you travel from location to location, a day passes and local prices change. Buy low, sell higher! But beware - Officer Hardass is looking out for you, so get prepared for a stand-off with the cops by visiting the Dope Wars Store to tool up for the inevitable confrontation! You can also buy more storage space along the way at the Store, so look out for sales and special offers.

Along the way, special market events will cause prices to rise or fall spectacularly, so be ready for these, this is how you get rich! There are muggers out there, so try to keep unused cash in the bank, earning interest. Other loan sharks can lend you money to solve short-term liquidity crunches, but they'll be after their money soon enough! If you get injured, pop in to see the local doctor at his surgery, but look out - he has no scruples, and you have kidneys. A bad combination.

Listen out for the crazy old lady, too. She sure has some wacky things to say, but occasionally, she'll give you a very handy tip off, which is essential to your financial success in Dope Wars. Also, keep an eye out (and cash on hand) for the chance to buy a larger coat. More space, more profit! Good luck my friend, you're sure going to need it!!

This is the full paid version. This version is ad-free, allows 15, 60, 90, 120 and 365 day game lengths for turn-based games and 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes for timed games, shows arrows indicating direction of daily price changes, and adds the powerful RCL 9000 weapon. There is also the ad-supported free-version available, with ads and the 30 day and 2minute game length options.

This version of Dope Wars is ported directly from the wildly popular version of the PC game, also from Beermat Software. Same great addictive game play, modified for your mobile device!

### 5/5 — Updates

*2026-08-12*

Update the game bro I wanna be able to do more stuff with the money I get

### 5/5 — Ian Wall

*2025-11-28*

You have done it again

### 1/5 — Schrott

*2025-10-06*

Nach dem ersten Tag geht er immer ins minus und ich kann das Spiel nicht zurück geben auch wenn es nur 0.99cent sind lächerlich

### 5/5 — Played for over 20+ years

*2025-05-02*

This game has turned into a cult classic for me. I’ve got proof from original game registrations in 2002 from when I first bought a copy. I play it nightly before going to sleep and during bathroom pits stops. I do wish they would bring back the original drug names like peyote and other names.

### 5/5 — Great fun!!

*2025-04-21*

Don’t miss out on this!  Great Fun

### 5/5 — Go for it!

*2025-02-21*

I’ve had this game for years.  The developer has made some excellent updates through the years.  Great throwback to the original and enjoyable!

### 1/5 — Scams your Apple Card

*2025-02-16, version 2.2.2*

Don’t download this. While playing it started charging my Apple Card.

### 1/5 — To hard

*2025-01-12, version 2.2.2*

Didn’t buy a game for it to strategically screw me every time it wasn’t bad at first but the last month or so it’s just sucked balls

### 3/5 — It’s fine

*2025-01-01*

It’s not so much a bad game. In ways it’s much richer than the og game. Thematically tho, I’m a little baffled. In some ways it seems like it’s trying to appeal to a younger audience what with the jokey weapons, but then you’re randomly looting a corpse on a subway. It’s WILDLY inconsistent that way. Also, it really messed me up going from N to N+ and the value of the strains flipped but they were still on the bottom and idek, it made my brain itch. Anyway, good build of a familiar game. I’m just not entirely sure who this is for.

### 4/5 — Review

*2024-08-16*

I’ve been waiting for a remake of this since I left high school in 2005. Used to play it on pc at school. This is fantastic. Was thinking it needs a bit of a visual lift like a setting of of the min City I.e Sydney harbour bridge for Sydney etc. also maybe when you fly to a main city from one to the other that the markets change.
