四方行

A thousand-mile journey begins with a single copper coin. Four Directions is a merchant trading game set in ancient China. You play as a roaming trader starting from Chang'an in the northwest, passing through Bianliang, Pingyang, Wuchang, and Jincheng, heading south to Jinling, Gusu, and Yangzhou, venturing deep into Kunming, Fuliang, and Panyu — bargaining and trading across a network of cities and towns, building your fortune through wit and words. --- 【Bargaining & Negotiation】 Every deal is a contest of minds. Different cities, different merchants — each with their own wants and limits. Learn what they need, read the moment, and strike at the right price. Buy low, sell smart. 【Trade Routes & Regional Goods】 Datong iron, Gusu silk, Fuliang porcelain, Panyu agarwood — every region has its abundance and its scarcity. Buy where it's cheap, sell where it's scarce. Plan your route and bring the right goods to the right place. 【Workshops & Crafting】 Turn raw materials into finished goods at forges, weaving halls, kitchens, and apothecaries. As your craft rank rises, so does the quality — and value — of what you produce. 【Appraisal: Spot the Real Deal】 The market is full of fakes and forgeries. That item you picked up for a song — is it worthless junk or a priceless antique? Only a sharp eye can tell. Identify a genuine treasure and its value can soar overnight. Guess wrong, and the loss is yours to bear. 【Hidden Places, Waiting to Be Found】 Rumors travel fast on the road. There are places that don't appear on ordinary maps, sheltering goods and opportunities found nowhere else — where exactly? Travel far enough, and you'll find out. --- ▎ "Goods flow in all four directions; prosperity follows."
