## What is Edo Trade?

Stack the gold. Buy the town.

Become the young heir of a merchant house in old Japan and buy out the shops of the town, one by one.
Face each shop owner, stack chests of gold against theirs, and when you push them over the edge, their noren curtain changes to your colors.

HOW TO PLAY
1. Pick a shop in town and launch a takeover
2. Each day, you and the owner stack gold chests. The balance shifts with every stack
3. Push the balance all the way to their side, and the shop is yours

Your shops earn money every month to fund the next takeover.

CALL YOUR ALLIES AND CRUSH THEM
- Open a guild meeting and every allied shop puts up its gold at once
- Win by dozens of times the market price, and a "×N the market" seal stamps the screen
- Turn the tide with 13 bargaining tactics and by hitting the weak spots between shops

CHOOSE YOUR HOME TOWN
Start in Edo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Kanazawa, Nagasaki or Sendai.
Each town has its own shop names, guilds and calls.
Take all 8 shops in one town, then move on. 56 shops across Japan are waiting.

A RIVAL AND A STORY
- Nueya, a rival with three head stores, will try to take your shops
- An alliance with a friend, a secret society of black tags, and a story told in parts from prologue to finale
- Grow your fortune and climb the millionaires' ranking

KAWARABAN TO SHARE
Become a 10,000-ryo merchant, conquer a town, topple a head store.
At each milestone you get a "kawaraban" broadsheet image of your business, ready to send to friends.

EASY TO START
Your head clerk points at the real buttons and teaches you one step at a time.

ALSO
- Play in 21 languages
- The only purchase is a one-time "Remove Ads". No gacha
