Gameplay

Tycoon is a game in which the player manages and makes financial decisions for a large business to increase the player's total worth and become a tycoon. [3]

Reception

J. Mishcon reviewed Tycoon in The Space Gamer No. 30. [3] Mishcon commented that "As currently constituted, I'd advised against this game, but a second edition with more complete instructions (and perhaps some non-financial complications for extreme tactics) would be very interesting." [3] In a SoftSide review, Brad Cameron wrote, "Buy this—it is the player's skillful decisions that may win them the game, as there are many different strategies to use." [2]
