Simulation and management
Tycoon and simulation
Games where you build and run something, such as a farm, a restaurant or a business, and make it grow.
Also called: tycoon game, simulation game, sim game, business sim, management game
What defines it
- You place buildings, hire help or grow crops.
- Goods and money move through a small economy you can tune.
- Orders, quests or customers set short-term goals.
- Long-term growth: more space, more products, better tools.
Tycoon and simulation games reward patience and planning. The fun comes from watching a small setup turn into a working system.
On phones the pace is usually set by timers, so crops grow, orders arrive and builds finish in real time.
