About game
Naval trading empires rely on more than just luck when navigating the dangerous waters of the Caribbean. Tortuga turns you into a savvy merchant captain looking to dominate regional markets and build a massive naval fortune. You begin your journey with a humble vessel, carefully monitoring prices to buy low and sell high across various bustling ports. Managing cargo space becomes a constant puzzle as you balance essential goods against potential profit margins. Expanding your fleet allows you to automate trade routes while you focus on upgrading workshops and properties in town. Dealing with persistent pirates requires you to decide between tactical cannon exchanges or daring boarding maneuvers during intense sea encounters. Every victory brings fame and extra gold, though you must keep an eye on ship repairs and crew wages to stay profitable.

How to play
Sail between ports on the Caribbean map. Tap the sea or a port, confirm the action, and wait for arrival. Time passes while your ship is moving.
On the market, compare buy and sell prices, port stock, and your cargo hold. Buy profitable goods, carry them to another city, and sell them for more.
In port, expand your fleet: buy ships, assign captains, and send vessels on routes. Watch crew, repairs, wages, and daily expenses.
In town, use the warehouse, property, workshops, tavern, and governor missions. Physical actions require your ship at the pier, while a remote city with owned assets only allows property management.
In battle, compare hull, crew, and cannons. Cannon fire deals steady damage, boarding is riskier, and retreat can save the ship when a fight turns bad.
