Hex Reverse Bazaar — Buying, Selling Cards and the Gold Loop

The Hex Reverse bazaar is the between-runs shop where gold buys and sells cards, and the Steam achievements track a first buy, 20 buys and 500 gold earned.

The Hex Reverse bazaar is the shop side of the base phase: it is where you buy and sell cards between runs, using gold you earn from playing. The Steam store description groups buying and selling cards with building and refining saved decks, fusing cards into stronger ones and upgrading equipment, and the achievement list attaches three separate goals to the same counter. That combination tells you the bazaar is meant to be used repeatedly rather than visited once, and it sits alongside the fusion and packs routes to new cards.

What the Bazaar Is For

The bazaar lives in the base you return to after a run ends, and it handles two directions of trade. Buying adds a card to your collection, while selling turns cards you do not want back into gold. The store description lists both in the same sentence as deck refining and fusion, which makes the bazaar a collection-building tool rather than a battle mechanic. Nothing about it touches the board while a run is in progress.

What the Bazaar Achievements Track

The three bazaar-related goals are the clearest documentation the game gives for how the shop is meant to be used, because the store page does not describe the shop interface itself.

Read together, those three describe a cycle rather than a single visit: cards go in, cards go out, and the difference funds the next upgrade. The store page does not publish the price of a card, the gold a sale returns, or how the stock is organised, so all of those are not documented yet.

Gold, Buying and the Run Loop

Gold and cards are the two resources of the base phase, and both are described as things you spend between runs rather than during a battle. The description says equipment upgrades provide permanent progression, while cards bought at the bazaar feed the saved decks you build and refine, so the shop is the slower and more deliberate way to shape a collection.

  • Buying adds to your collection; selling converts spare cards back into gold.
  • Gold comes from playing, and selling cards is one documented income source.
  • The bazaar is a between-runs screen and has no effect on an active battle.

How much gold a single run produces is not documented yet, so a budget plan has to come from playing rather than from a published table. The gameplay page covers the run loop the gold comes out of, and the cards page explains what you are actually buying.

FAQ

What is the Bazaar in Hex Reverse?

It is the shop side of the base phase, the screen you return to after a run ends. The Steam store description puts buying and selling cards alongside building and refining saved decks, fusing cards into stronger ones and upgrading equipment, which places the Bazaar firmly in the between-runs preparation loop rather than in a battle. Nothing the Bazaar does changes the board during a run.

How do you buy cards in Hex Reverse?

By spending gold at the Bazaar. The store description documents the buy and sell loop but not the interface behind it, and the achievement list confirms buying as a tracked action with a goal for buying a single card and another for buying a total of twenty. The catalogue size, the price of an individual card and how stock refreshes are not documented yet.

Where does gold come from in Hex Reverse?

Gold is earned from playing and spent at the Bazaar, and selling cards is one documented way to gain it, because one achievement is earned by earning 500 gold through selling cards. The exact payout per run, per battle and per sale is not published on the store page, so treat any gold-per-hour figure as not documented yet.

Do the Bazaar achievements require going back often?

Yes, the wording points that way. One goal is a single purchase at the Bazaar, but another asks for twenty cards bought there and a third for 500 gold earned by selling, so the three goals only make sense if you keep trading between runs. That is a reading of the achievement list rather than a documented rate.
