How to Turn 100K Into 1 Billion
Hugely Anticipated Board Game from England is Being Launched in America Just in Time for Christmas
(firmenpresse) - LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 12/01/11 -- Devised by two entrepreneurs from London's prestigious Mayfair business district, Billionaire Tycoon, is a unique and thrilling board game, launched exclusively at Harrods last year. The game shares ideas, skills and strategies used by some of the richest and most successful businessmen in the World.
Billionaire Tycoon is a game of negotiating, deal making, taking risks and keeping a solid poker-face. The creators say they wanted to share the skills, secrets and know-how to become seriously business savvy, while having fun at the same time.
"Players will experience a range of emotions and constantly be thinking of new ways to win. This is closest you can get to being a real business tycoon without risking your life savings and years of hard work" says co-creator Seth Surya.
Critics have already dubbed Billionaire Tycoon as 'Monopoly for the globe-trekking generation' and the game was voted one of the best Mens Gifts by CityAm & DailyCandy.
The game story: You were once a successful business tycoon and you lost your business empire in the recession. You have managed to secure a GBP 100,000 loan from a bank manager and you are on a mission to rebuild your global business empire as fast as you can. The objective of the game is to become the wealthiest player through acquiring, trading and selling businesses across the world while using your people to attack and defend against other players. You will need to negotiate, strategise, take risks, make intelligent decisions and think like a real billionaire to win. Do whatever it takes and don't waste time because the first player with GBP 1 billion cash without any debts will win the game.
Billionaire Tycoon is available from Amazon.com and costs $34.95. The game is suitable for ages 12 years and upwards and can be played by up to four players. It is addictive, exciting and will keep your family and friends up all night until a billionaire is made.
As befits tycoons and would-be tycoons - there is also a luxury version. Made from Swedish super-car hide (as used on Lamborghinis) and Italian leather, with nickel-plated playing pieces and black-suede lined dice cups, this will sell for over $8,000.
