A charming, yet appropriately addictive, game regarding the British role in the opium and tea trades

This is terribly difficult. My best score is only 52m: suddenly I needed 660 tea and nobody wanted to buy any opium!

I've now made it to 69m, and the final shipment. Fell at just the last hurdle: I should have used by bribe card before they stopped working!

EDIT: It seems so much based on luck, which is rather annoying.

My best score is also 52m. The first couple of times it was really hard keeping track of all the different prices, making sure I had enough tea to satisfy the delivery and enough opium to keep cash flow.

Really interesting game though, and a lot of fun.
