PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Hotel Tycoon

Hotels FROM FRANCE TO JAPAN

 

Some games are like boomerangs, the come back again and again. One of those games is Hotel, first published in 1986, and since then available in different editions; a little remark and smile on this - in the English edition there was a hotel called The Boomerang!

The idea of the game is simple, you should set up a chain of hotels. To do so you move your plane by rolling a die along an impressive board - if you roll a six you get an additional turn, which you need not implement. There can never be two planes on the same spot on the board. The hotel buildings are set up in the middle of the board.

The effects of spots you end your turn on are implemented: Buy adjacent lots, if they are still without buildings, you can buy them from other players - roll the die for building permits and - in case of a positive result - build for free or against payment. You need not stand next to the lot where you want to build. If you have enough money you can use one permit for several buildings on the same lot. The sequence of setting up buildings of one hotel must be followed. - Control tower - this spot allows you to build a hotel entrance. If your turn ends on a hotel entrance you pay the price for one night to the owner of the hotel. If you go bankrupt, you must quit the game. The last two in play do not receive money from the bank, the last one in play wins the game.

Simple and simply beautiful, it is fun to set up the spectacular buildings on the board and to see your hotel empire grow in the truest sense of the word! A family game that is attractive to look at and also attractive to play.
