Saltgrass Pier

This is a text based game like the classic game Dope Wars but with many more options.  You are a merchant ship captain.  take out a loan, buy goods and sail them to close or far away ports to sell them for a profit.  But reaching a port without a battle is not guaranteed so attract qualified sailors by cooking a stew on the pier and arm your ship for battle or stealth.  Buy a bigger ship to hold more crew, cargo and guns.  Decide to battle or try to avoid any ships you cross and if you win the battle you take the ships cargo and maybe even a unique sailor. Deposit your money in the bank so it doesn't get stolen in a lost duel or at the craps table.
