Tycoon is best described as the computer version of monopoly. The game is for one to nine players and for this reason may prove popular, especially around Christmas time. Each player inputs his/her name at the start and then the game begins. When a particular players turn comes around a car is displayed with the player's name on the side. The car stays still on the screen while the various buildings move past in the background.

When the car stops the screen changes to the player's particulars (money, property etc.) and if the property the player is on has not been bought, the player is given the option. If the property is unsold the player is given the option. Other establishments on the 'board' include shops and markets. At the trade markets you can buy or sell shares, land or gold. The winner is the last person left who isn't bankrupt.

Tycoon is a good game if you want to play a 'monopoly' type game but for me these games are best left to the board.
