@dudeness213, I would uprate your comment over 9,000 times if I could. As for the game: awesome game, very fun, just the right amount of challenge without being too hard. I thought I was going to lose there at the end, but I barely pulled through thanks to just being patient.

Funny, the most historicaly accurate game centers on drug crazed-1800's China. It couldn't be nice and cleaa, could it.

106 mil score. 696 bil. cup of teas. 306 mil opium users. Stressful game but excellent concept. My only advice: 1) Stock A LOT during the low price event. 2) Keep spare money to do that.

Loved the game, and I think most people's complaints are unreasonable; to those who are complaining, chances are that you suck. I played twice, for a total of 15 minutes to beat the game. That was probably the easiest 50 points of my Kongregate career, so stop complaining about the difficulty, it is fine; you are just not doing it right.

man, i had 58 mil, not bad. why im posting is i had crates of tea sold and had 420 billion cups of tea drunk... they really WERE addicted... you think maybe they were putting opium in the tea or something? these people ate, drank, slept, breathed, and deficated tea. but they didn't reuse the deficated tea. thats just gross. they do now though. a clever rename: de-caffinated.

123 million :D Pretty cool game, nice randomness with the prices from the lowest to the highest ranges :) Only target the risky ports if they give 99/opium and more then 30 crates

i did it 50 50 and it works for me...
when ever under 50 price buy when ever over 50 sell
count for tea + opium
when the last tea ship is announced just buy tea 30 the whole time
got the hard badge in the 3rd try

by the end of all this (historically speaking) Britain was shipping 39,000 crates of opium to China a year... @ $1,000 dollars per crate, that's quite a bit. When you convert it to today's values, that's barely shy of $1,000,000,000 (1 Billion with a B) a year Britain was making selling to China. Over 90% of the male population in China was addicted to opium.

First of all, the click-click interface system is AWESOME, but it needs to have better tooltips or explanations as to what the hell you are clicking on. If I click on the dude that says "6 chests for 99" am I buying it or selling it? Should I be looking for high prices in ports or low? Depends whether I'm buying or selling, which I currently can't tell. That's a rather crucial detail, don't you think? This game sort of reminds me of the old VB classic, Dope Wars.

Spam clicking almost 50% of the time just to meet the tea needs, even though I could afford spamming at like ~90 per tea... I finished with 120 mil on my first try? Seemed too easy for a hard achievement, idk.

What the?!?! When it's risky I can get 69 crates of opium through, for 99. each. But we can't get a damn 4 crates?! Lol

idk why but i dont get nothing in the badges... i sold 1000's of opium chests but the counter didnt move, same with shipped tea

In 9 years, I shipped 696 billion cups of tea. So 9(365)= 3285. 696000000000 / 3285 = 211872146.1187215 cups of tea drunk per day. Thats some addiction.
