Goblin Reserve Training Cassette // 10 Quarters

Central Banker

You are the chair of the fictional Goblin Reserve. Keep prices, jobs, banks, markets, and politicians from all catching fire at once. It is definitely a serious educational simulator and not a haunted spreadsheet wearing a tie.

Before the oath ceremony

Choose advisor mode

Each mode uses the same economy and actions. Only the scripted AI advisor changes how much help it gives. Your goal is to finish ten quarters with inflation near target, unemployment contained, banks stable, and credibility intact.

Learn

Practice

Policy lags

Actions echo into later quarters, so overreacting can create tomorrow's crisis.

Debrief

Tradeoff reasoning

Every ending explains which macro concepts your term demonstrated.
