Board Game Tycoon
An approachable single-player management sim about designing and publishing your own board games. Choose themes and mechanics, name your games and customize their covers. Simulated playtest groups try your prototypes and show you what needs work. Revise your designs, arrange a print run and find out how your games fare with players, critics and fictional content creators. Manage sales, stock and reprints as your catalog grows, all from a warm isometric publishing studio.
