Description
One of the high-priced (for the time) James Clavell games produced by FASA in 1981 ($25.00 retail). This one is about trading on the Chinese coast in the 1830s. Players buy and sell cargo from port-to-port including tea, spices, silk and Opium. Various events come into play via a deck of cards. The player with the most money at the end of the game is the winner.
