Ratings and reviews

Wonderful game, but the amount of wasted potential makes my cry every time I play it. One of the rare games that focus on writing and gameplay, and are not a cashgrab by any means. I wish the dev would continue the project in the current format - Pirates and Traders 2, along with it's new UI feels cheaper and waaaaay less polished than 1, with a lot of mechanics being replaced for no reason, UI being downgraded etc. Also, it needs more content and bug fixes.

Took me a while to get the hang of this, but once i did i enjoyed it. Even ended up being forced to retire on one game. if you're not trying to be a war monger and just want money, you can "distance" yourself from other ships. if you attack you will have fewer ports you can visit. (can be pardoned though some times.) Also don't buy weapons, and until you get more cunning, don't buy jewels. More likely to get arrested. Enjoy!

Simple little game. Would have liked it a bit more of there was a little more strategic depth to the game, or some kind of narrative driving the game. Would also be nice to have the game track the average price you paid for the goods youre carrying so you could compare it to current prices instead of writing down how much you paid for Spices in Tortuga and then when you picked some up from the pirate you defeated and then having to do the math to see if selling is profitable in San Juan.
