The market trader

The market trader is a trading and city-building strategy game. You control a trader who develops a village by earning money from selling goods produced there or acquired from other villages.

Trade and develop

Trade goods such as crops, cloth, wood, milk, books, swords, shields, shells and gems between villages. The items villagers want vary by village, season and timing, so you buy cheaply and sell at the right time. Trading can also help you develop other villages.

Manage villages

Villagers build in the village where your trader is located. Depending on your orders, they fight, produce goods, eat and work. Villagers in other villages do the same. In villages you develop, you can set up bars and arenas where residents spend money, earning you income.

Defend your resources

Money can make other villagers jealous, and thieves may attack developed villages. Prepare defenses such as cannons and warriors, and manage risks and resources to determine whether your village succeeds.
