This game has too much randomness. They even wrote it in the guide that, while some cities specialize in a certain trade good (they produce it, so it is cheaper), OTHER merchants (you don't see them) can buy the goods before you. Effectively, this means that no matter where you go, prices are completely random. Just some places sometimes have them significantly cheaper. But they can even have the price higher for their own product because "other merchants bought too much of it".

Random events that you can sometimes learn about can create temporary high or low prices. For example, there was a drought in some place, so now there is a food shortage. But by the time you get there (even if you were very close), the price may already change to whatever. So you can't rely even on those.

You are forced to pretty much travel around and buy low, sell high as a dice roll. No planning will help you. Also, there are plenty of random events on the road that do little more than force you to make extra clicks and you can disable only the bridge crossing events from showing up. My hand gets tired quickly playing this game.

It looks nice, there is a storyline and a feel of progression, but the core gameplay is tiring, random and unrewarding. Good enough as a clicker, I suppose
