You've got 30 days, a pocket full of cash, and a city that doesn't care if you live or die. Contraband is a fast-paced drug-trading game inspired by the classic street hustle. Buy cheap, move product across six cities, and sell high before your time runs out — or someone runs it out for you. TRADE ACROSS AMERICA Six cities. Six different markets. Weed's cheap in LA. Coke moves fast in Miami. Meth flows out of Albuquerque. Learn the routes, read the prices, and exploit every edge you can find. CHOOSE YOUR FACTION Seven criminal organizations. Each one plays differently — different starting cash, police heat, buy/sell advantages, and loan terms. The Independent and the Syndicate are yours from the start. Unlock the Mafia, Outlaws, Cartel, Yakuza, and Red Network for $0.99 each. SURVIVE THE STREETS Every move carries risk. Police chases. Corrupt officials. Informants. Street jackings. Undercover busts. When trouble hits, you choose how to handle it — fight, bribe, run, or take the hit. Having a pistol, rifle, or bodyguard on hand changes your options. So does being broke. MANAGE YOUR OPERATION Take loans from your faction's loan shark — but pay them back in time. Stash cash in the bank before a seizure wipes you out. Stock up on med packs, tourniquets, and steroids to stay alive. Weapons in your arsenal shift the odds every time things go sideways. NO ADS. NO TIMERS. NO NONSENSE. One price gets you in the door. No energy bars. No forced ads. No pay-to-win. Just you, the market, and 30 days to make your name.
