Taipan for Windows

Taipan for Windows is a trading and strategy game based on the classic Taipan formula, placing the player in the role of a merchant trying to build wealth through buying and selling goods. Players travel between ports, monitor prices, manage cargo and make decisions about when and where to trade. The simplicity of the concept hides a surprisingly addictive economic challenge, since profits depend on understanding changing markets and taking calculated risks. Dangerous encounters can also make transportation more complicated, turning an apparently peaceful trading route into a slightly more stressful business trip. Taipan for Windows demonstrates the timeless appeal of economic strategy: buy low, sell high and try not to lose everything before reaching the next port. It is capitalism with a cargo hold and considerably fewer meetings.
