It is possible to lease city blocks for 25-year periods, which can bring you rental income from opponents' properties, or simply prevent you from having to pay it. The rich people don't care how much they pay, so long as they don't have to walk too far to get it, or hang around with the plebs of the city.

The class system of the townspeople is basic, but effective, the poorer people are, the less concerned they are about image and location, and more about price. The AI of the city's inhabitants is good, they learn where they'll get the best deals, and they will ignore you if you're not it. You must keep track of what you're building because a low-quality shack on either of the indigo blocks won't attract business from the wealthy residents, and won't bring in business from the people living in low-quality blocks either. You can set prices for the goods sold in the stores, too, and you have to keep an eye on the opposition to make sure they're not undercutting you and stealing away our business.īusinesses can be of high, medium or low quality, depending on the block you're building them on. Stock is bought in the morning, and maximum levels are dictated by the base size and number of floors of the business. The citizens quickly learn which blocks provide which services, so organising your blocks into sets of each of these three areas is a must. In this game, you can run day stores (which fall broadly into two categories, food and goods), and night stores (which sell entertainment services), as well as setting up apartments and hotels.

Unlike the board game, which took a completely abstracted approach to running your business empire, this game throws you into the daily affairs of organising a business empire. It has all of the classic locations, as well as a set of docklands properties which may or may not be from some international version of the game I've never seen. Monopoly Tycoon, like the name suggests, is based on the classic board game 'Monopoly'.

Recently, there've been a bunch of different tycoon series of games.
