About the Game

Welcome to High Seas, High Profits! A game about putting on the dusty pants of a medieval capitalist, entrusting drunk sailors with trading your beer and enforcing the almost random desires of whimsy mayors who think famine is kinda bad, but throwing a harvest celebration is crucial!

You're busy, let's get down to business:

  • discover the cities on your map and the bonuses that they offer

  • trade between cities and build wealth

  • buy old dusty ships or build your very own new and shiny ones

  • learn about prices and set up trading routes

  • build production businesses or enter auctions for city owned shops

  • find new captains with awesome traits, or train the ones you have into... sucking less

  • engage with the other traders, race them through the cities, help them out or work towards bankrupting them and taking over their business

  • fight pirates, run away or just.. befriend them, for a chance at treasure and rare ship improvements

  • enjoy chill, turn based gameplay or fast pace RTS and switch between the 2 at any time!
