The Bengal poppy blooms red, and from it flows a fortune in smoke. The East India Company grows the crop. Private merchants carry the cargo. And on the far side of the world, a dying empire pays in silver for its own destruction.
The trade is forbidden by Imperial decree — punishable by death. But the clipper ships are fast, the profits immense, and the Strait of Malacca does not ask what you carry. From Bombay to the Pearl River Delta, a shadow fleet of the swiftest vessels ever built races against the monsoon, the navy, and each other.
The Qing warships are hunting.
The sea is unforgiving.
And the cargo will not wait.
YOUR SHIP AWAITS
The wind fills your sails. The harbour falls behind. Steer by tapping left and right.
THE CARGO
Burlap-wrapped packages drift in the wake of ships gone before you. Collect them. Rare wooden stash crates carry five times the bounty.
THE ROUTE
Every port reached is a delivery made. The further you sail, the greater the reward — and the longer the odds.
⚠ THE PATROL
Dark hulls. Red lanterns. If they catch you, everything is lost — your cargo, your ship, your freedom. Do not let them close.
THE SEA
Rocks split hulls. Whirlpools drag you under. Every collision costs cargo and tears your sails. Survive, and the sea grants you a moment of grace.
⚓ THE ANCHOR
Know when to stop. Tap the anchor to dock and collect what you've earned — before the sea takes it from you.
Patrols. Contraband. Everything to lose.
No patrols, no cargo. The sea alone.
CLIPPER RUN
Silk and silver. Smoke and sea. The fastest ships on earth, running the most dangerous cargo.
