What players say
Really fun. Much less random than Oregon Trail (and Organ Trail), which is a godsend considering a run in this game is quite a bit longer. It feels like a classic despite being only a few years old, which I believe is the goal of most games like this. I guess I don't have much to say about this one, it's just neat fun and you should try it.

gang, this could be better than Sea of Thieves (the Cape Town theme now perpetually loops in my head, too)
This game highly reminds me of Oregon Trail, Tradewinds, and Taipan! altogether. The only difference is the ships, goodies and the reefs you need to be mindful of during mid-travel. I hope we can fish with a rod instead of harpoons for a relaxing feature of the game. I also hope there will be more port cities in the next update in the Age of Sail, and more ships in both purist and fantasy. One thing I do wanna wait...
