***UNIQUE DUAL-MODE REALITY SIMULATION GAME***
Choose on yourself whether you want to play the racy simulation-mode or the exciting reality-mode. In simulation mode, the time is gathered so the events occur in rapid succession and you are challenged by fast decisions. The reality mode is perfect for playing in between. In a short work- or school break you can send your ships. A few hours later, they are probably arrived with new goods. You can do whatever you want with your iPhone at this time and there is no need to run the game meanwhile. In this mode there is only minimum time-lapse.


***TRADING WITH 6 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES***
