Taipan Trader

Imagine yourself in the 1800´s as the owner of a merchant shipping company. You travel with your Comprador Liang all over the western pacific ocean. You can go to any port on the map, as the wind takes you. In every port, your Comprador will help you buy or sell items, always searching for great deals. Sometimes you find them. Your challenge is to purchase goods that will turn a profit in another port.

However, danger lurks in those same seas. On every trip you have to watch out for rough seas. Cyclones have been known to blow a ship off course, or even sink it. Also, pirates have been spotted on these seas, and your crew dreads an encounter with them. They may just board your ship and inspect the hold for treasure. Or they may demand a share of your cargo to let you pass through these waters. Sometimes you will fight them off. Other times they will conquer you. If this sounds like fun, then give this game a try. Have fun! And watch out for those pirates.
