Arcade Tycoon is a new family board game that allows players to partake in a little bit of arcade management to earn money and create an empire to win the top title. Suitable for between two and four players 12-years and older, Arcade Tycoon requires users to work their way around the board and manage video game arcade machines that they've placed.
Merging the play styles of many different games, Arcade Tycoon allows players to sabotage other players and even swap out machines to help maximize profits. The family board game features arcade machines that have been 3D-printed and a board that has bright visuals inspired by the aesthetic of a real-life arcade. At the end of the game, the winner is crowned the Arcade Tycoon and takes the title until another round is played.
