About game
Staring at the clock waiting for a meeting to end or just need a mental escape during your coffee break is a common struggle. Sea Trade Network solves this by putting you in charge of a merchant fleet navigating a changing ocean. You start with a single humble boat and six islands, each with distinct production needs and market fluctuations. Prices shift constantly by up to forty percent, so you must watch the market closely to find a profitable run. Buying cheap at one port and selling high at another builds your wealth quickly. Your profits go directly into faster ships, larger holds, and sturdier hulls to expand your business. Eventually, you can automate successful routes with an autopilot feature that keeps earning cash while you handle other tasks. Scouting new locations like Cotton Shore or Smugglers Rock keeps the logistics fresh and keeps your empire growing. Play this economic strategy game for free in your browser right now without downloading a single file.
How to play
1. Tap an island on the map to open its market with buy and sell prices.
2. Send a ship there. Voyages run in real time: neighbouring islands take 20–30 seconds in the starter boat.
3. When the ship docks, buy the good marked as cheap. The button shows the exact amount of the deal.
4. Open the island that wants that good and send the ship over. The expected profit is shown before you set sail.
5. Sell the cargo — the price difference is your income.
6. Spend the profit on upgrades: fleet speed, hold capacity, another ship, or scouting a new island.
Tips: "Produces" means cheap here, "Wants" means dear here. Buying and selling on the same island is always a loss because of the trader's markup. After five manual runs on one pair of islands the autopilot unlocks — switch it on in the Fleet tab. Earn $50,000 in a run and you can take the trade charter: progress resets, but the +15% revenue bonus is yours forever.
