Tradecraft

**Tradecraft** is a business/trading game where different resources, such as wood and gold, can be traded for upgrades and more resources.

## Instructions from Cool Math Games

*Click on a resource to make more of it. Each resources has a value. If you see a trade that brings in more than it costs, you will score points when you make it. Make trades, get upgrades, and turn your resources into gold!*

## Gameplay

There are several resources, all of which are in a table, each with their own values and amount. At the beginning of the game, only the coin exists. It can be clicked to increase its amount, by one coin per click. Afterwards, upgrades will appear on the right side of the screen, which can allow the player to collect a different resource by clicking it, increase the amount of a resource collected per click, give a resource over time, etc. Meanwhile, the top of the screen contains trades of a certain number of a resource for a certain number of another one, which can be advantageous or disadvantageous, depending on the amount and value of the resources.
