Ports of Call

Ports of Call description

German Maritime trading strategy "local scale". It and stands out from many other similar games, this and interesting.

In fact, the "local scale" means that here you don't need (or rather you can't) create any "trading Empire", here, everything is much easier and harder at the same time: you – the owner and captain of separately taken a merchant ship. More can not even count: this would cope (though in the future if all goes well, you can buy and other vessels). Our lesson here is not buying and selling goods, and just the transportation of goods for money. Yes, another important point – the game takes place in OUR days (well, to be honest, it is not in our – according to the courts, it's the 50s or even 30 years, but still, no romance...).

Before the game, you need to choose your hometown, buy a ship and begin the difficult work in a team, loading of goods, shipping them to your destination and more. The most interesting point is that the ship over time (and the time it flows sometimes very quickly) wear out, so a considerable part of the money (and earn you in this game even under the most favorable conditions little this game) will have to spend on renovations and all the new parts of the vessel, if this is not done, it is possible in one day, not trivial to go to the bottom. Also you can encounter various non-trivial situations: for example, the need to rescue shipwrecked people.

The strangeness of the surroundings and the gameplay far outweighed by the poverty of some graphs (in terms of what we see on screens, not in terms of palette) and distinguish this game from the masses superficially similar. However, fans of "traditional" Maritime trading strategies perhaps not everyone here will like.
