THE SHIRT SHOP

A new week begins.

Your stock Rail = for sale · Display = attracts interest · Archive = protected

Monday morning

Open the shop

Three people will visit today. Every choice changes the shop you are building.

A playable World Club field note about objects, stories, commerce and belonging.

World Club / Play presents

You have seven days to turn a small independent football-shirt shop into something worth keeping.

Sell
Earn cash and keep the doors open.

Display
Build culture and attract better offers.

Archive
Protect significant objects from the market.

Belong
Make choices that earn community trust.

Your fixed costs: £35 at the end of each day, plus £300 rent after day seven.

Serve three visitors each day. Some want to buy, some want to sell, and others need something from the shop.

Rail: the shirt can be sold.
Display: the shirt can be sold for a better offer and adds culture at closing time.
Archive: the shirt cannot be sold and adds curation and culture at closing time.
Inspect: reveals whether an offered shirt is authentic, but costs £5.

You do not need the most money to win. The ending reflects the balance you create between commerce, curation, culture and community.
