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]

gollark: Idea: cow LINACs.
gollark: It probably froze because of trying to simulate the impact of the cows at 0, 99999, 0.
gollark: Aha, IT WORKS!
gollark: Frozen cows.
