Saloon Tycoon
Players act as saloon owners in an old-west gold rush town, expanding establishments built on lots at the four corners of the main crossroads. On each turn players earn gold, choose an action, place building tiles and collect bonuses to improve their saloon footprint and services. Citizens—some wealthy and famous, others unsavory—are attracted or repelled by placement and upgrades, affecting reputation. The game resolves after a set sequence of rounds; the player with the most reputation points from buildings, patrons and bonuses wins.
