Ready to hear the story of Fairy Godmother Tycoon? Once upon a time, there was a land known as Onceuponia and it had nine quirky villages. The Fairy Godmother managed potion stores in these villages, but competitors took over and almost ran her business into the ground.
Fairy Godmother has hired a new employee (you) to save her stores. The boss provides goals in each village to meet before moving on to the next one. The first to conquer is Tutorialville. This helps the player learn the business as Fairy Godmother doesn't want to throw the player to the wolves, dragons and bulls before moving up to the seriously competitive villages.
This YATG (yet another tycoon game) succeeds in challenging players to run a business. Players must decide the following before the start of each day:
- Study weather reports to determine what potions to stock up on
- How many supplies to buy
- What to charge
- What marketing tools to use
- What to upgrade (building, potion maker, entertainment for entertaining people waiting in line, spells, spies, etc.)
- How much, if any, to invest in research for a new potion
- Whether to hire contractors to help promote your product or stop the competition
- Whether to take out a loan or pay it back
The people of the nine villages - Sure Would Forest, Beantown (not Boston) and Pirates' Cove to name a few - need help dealing with big head, floating, fire, broken heart and swear curses. The goal for conquering each village typically requires earning a specific amount of beans or driving competitors out of business.
