Scenarios, quick modes and challenges

Every SejrBank game is a real economy with its own history. Pick a full career, a historical crisis, a five-minute sprint for a medal, this week's challenge — or a duel against a friend.

Five historical starts

Scenario	You take over…	Difficulty
Classic — Sejrby, 1995	A one-branch savings bank with high rates, fat margins and a long runway to the top.	Standard
Baptism of Fire — 2008	Mid-crash: falling house prices, rising defaults, thin capital and rivals failing around you.	Hard, with opportunity
Nordic Crisis — 1988	The roaring late eighties — and the real Nordic banking crisis, on schedule a few years in.	Hard
The Zero Era — 2015	Near-zero and negative rates: deposit funding earns nothing and costs kill faster than credit losses.	Expert
Digital Disruption — 2020	A pandemic shock in month two, negative rates and fintech challengers spawning relentlessly.	Hard

Quick modes: a medal in 5–15 minutes

The weekly challenge — with a rule twist

Every week, everyone plays the same world from the same seed under the same twist, and the results are ranked on the weekly board — with live standings while careers are still running. Twists rotate:

• 🔥 High-Inflation Week — wages inflate twice as fast and rates run higher.
• 🍾 Easy Money — fewer recessions, nastier losses when they land.
• 🥊 Glass Jaw — bank runs are three times as likely and faster.
• 🏛 The Tough Regulator — every capital requirement is 2 points higher.
• 📱 Fintech Invasion — challengers launch three times as often.
• 💼 Deep Pockets — more capital, and a board that expects more.
• 🌪 Volatile Decade — cycles 50% more violent.

Duels

Agree on any code word with a friend — “sejrby”, “showdown”, your names — and you both play the identical economy: same rivals, same crises on the same dates. Finished careers land on the duel's own board. No excuses.
