This game has more depth and atmosphere than most games. Not easy, but all the more fun because of it. Very nice economics-themed game. 5/5.

I had well over $30K and 300+ crates of opium. The number of tea must be fixed so how do you sell 10,000 crates of opium by the game ends?

Curses! Why do they make the Risky tradepoints so inviting? I just lost 40 odd thousand monies for the third time in such a short time :(

make it easier to sell a ship, i got stuck right at the end with no money to buy opium or tea and only needed a few more cases of tea to win.

hard badge - you dont even need to try and win the game to achieve the hard badge goal. the thing you want to do is buy and sell as much as possible. Winning doesnt matter. you do need to get to the final year, but when i finished i shipped 2760 crates to Brit and 3240 sold to china and made almost 90mil in points while not meeting the last year demand. So the secret is not to try and win but just buy and sell as much as possible.

Regarding the score, I have found another aspect. When you let the British vessel wait for the tea, you may accumulate much more money. Additionally, Britain will ask for much less tea. However, that directly affects your score. When I sold 3540 crates tea and 3615 crates opium, I achieved 128 million points. When I sold 2250 crates tea and 3035 crates opium, I just achieved 68 million points. Maybe one can sell more opium, but I doubt that it compensates the 1290 crates of tea that one will not sell to Britain...

Haha, love it when they take away some of your opium when you have none, and only have like 200 to pay if you get busted.

This game was way cooler than I was expecting when I came to try it for some bonus points. Good decision to put it on Badge of the Day and get it some more attention, it certainly deserves it.

Fun for the first little bit, but then the market gets completely unbalanced. Balance out the rates between tea and opium instead a constant rise, and give the ability to order more as the game goes on, and it would be a pretty great game.

WTF! I lost in the first five minutes. I am a disappointment to Britain? STFU! Why do people need so much freaking tea?!?

This is a really cool example of education in video games. It's a fun game, and it teaches you about England's nefarious involvement with addicting China to opium in order to finance its tea addiction.

TO get hard badge, you want to ship as much tea as possible. Thats where a huge chunk of your score comes from. Meeting deadlines early or slightly late (90+) means the next shipment will require more tea. This is good, you will make a huge amount of score for making it.
BTW, I almost failed the last shipment with 10 tea lefts, I was broke from just selling at 80+ plus to meet the deadline. The price miraculously dropped to 14, bought 5, then quickly rose back to 80. I thought that the game just screwed me off. Just then, it dropped back to 14 and I managed to waste my last 130 money on a 5 tea pack LOL

So let me get this straight. I have to spend my money to go get opium, I have to risk my money, my ships, and my opium in sending it to other ports, then I have to use all that hard-earned money to buy tea and give it to England free of charge?
Screw you, Great Britain. Pay me for my damn work.

so apparantly bengal is the only place opium grows so we can only buy outragious prices for opium, also would it kill the trader to buy an opium farm?

I don't think the Brits in this game realize it, but I'M A GOD DAMN OPIUM TRADER!!! I DON'T CARE IF BRITAIN IS IN CRISIS FROM LACK OF TEA!!! DEAL WITH IT!!! So anyway, Hung Chow, how much did you want per crate?

I'm suprised: This game has a very original theme, and the gameplay is so solid aswell! And the sounds are just plain smooth! I'd give you a 4.5/5 If I could, but since I'm a harsh judge that's 4/5. Great work though!

I was just starting and not being able to buy more than 30 crates sucks... also, the market moves way faster here than IRL, not much time to do calculations except buy low/sell high...

I think it would make the game much more entertaining if the ships could hit multiple trades in one trip, and then added a carrying capacity and added more ships with higher carrying capacities
