Island Trader

How to play

You captain a small courier boat with a loan to pay off and a handful of days to turn a profit across five island markets.

The trade

Tap any good in the market to open its trade sheet, then Buy or Sell. The same price buys and sells, and it swings every day. Each island is cheap for some goods and dear for others — carry from where a good is cheap to where it is dear.

Your hold

Cargo fills your hold; cheap bulk goods eat space, dear goods eat cash. Upgrade the hold at the Chandler (home port only).

Sailing & risk

Set sail to spend a day and change market. Storms cost an extra day and spoil part of your biggest cargo; customs levy a duty on arrival. Harbour talk warns of tomorrow — reliable but never complete.

Debt

Your loan grows every day at sea. Borrow or repay at the Lender (home port only). At the final day your boat is settled and your net worth sets your rank.
