Description

A straightforward game of cargo shipping, reminiscent of crayon rails. You own ships and move them about the map, buying and delivering cargo. Ships come in several types: General Cargo, Refrigerated Cargo, Tanker and Bulk Carrier, forcing you to match cargo type and ship type unless you're willing to pay the penalties. You can own multiple ships, but will a new ship be amortised before the game ends?
