You are a travelling merchant.

You've just heard the tales of Marco Polo's adventures in Asia and have been struck with curiousity, wanderlust, and greed.

Trade goods between cities to acquire gold. Use gold to buy treasures. Try and collect them all.

Really interessting entry and nice concept!
I like the provide and demand system and that the item costs changed based on it.
the game held my attention for quite some time.
Sadly I glitched into the water by trying to get to the southpole from southamerica
and did not manage to get back onto any continent.

I managed to collect all the artifacts, fortunately the trading system is very forgiving. It didn't take very long to figure out how the systems worked and balance the local economies - then it was just a matter of finding the other cities on the map and realizing that the goal was the artifacts. IMO the music was a bad idea in this form, but SFX are pretty appropriate. Simple game, but nicely done.
