Inspired by the trading mechanic of some of my favorite strategy games like Pirates. Buy, set a price, and sell.

Caravanserail is an arcade-ish trading game. and by caravanserais (trading posts in the desert where people used to buy products from caravans) I tried to recreate the feeling of trading in the old times : you have to let caravans pass, remember the prices, and deduce the mar.
