About This Game

A trade empire, one hexagon at a time

Start with one dock and a fishing hut on a sunny tropical island. Grow it into a shipping network across six biome islands, each with its own land, goods and buildings. The richest products need goods from several islands, so every new island opens new production chains instead of repeating the last one.

Placement matters

Every building has neighbours it loves: fishing huts by open water, apiaries next to wheat fields, smelters beside mines. Harmony Totems boost everything around them. Plan your layout, chase the best adjacency bonus, and watch the numbers climb.

Decisions that keep paying off

• Contracts pay far more than the market. Decide what to sell and what to hold back.
  
• Wonders need huge deliveries, and every stage you complete is permanent.
  
• Sea events: floating crates, golden seagulls, singing whales and a merchant ship that pays up to four times the market price for one good.
  
• Reputation unlocks new buildings and islands, and raises every price you get.

Voyages that change the rules

When progress slows, set sail. You keep your Legacy Stars, wonders and blueprints, and choose a charter for the next voyage: a Raw Materials Boom, a Guild Strike, a Drought on Timberholm, Golden Contracts and 12 more. Every charter changes what is worth building, so no two voyages play the same.

• Legacy tree: 20 upgrades across Commerce, Industry, Exploration and Fortune, from auto-upgrading foremen to the hidden sixth island.
  
• Blueprints: your layout is remembered between voyages. Rebuild it with one click, then adapt it to the new charter.

An endgame worth reaching

Settle mysterious Mistveil and the Storm Seas open: ten levels of harder voyages. Weather each storm to claim one of 14 heirlooms that bend the rules for good, and race your best time to Mistveil on the Steam leaderboards.
