Game review: Hotel Tycoon

Ruaridh (8) is a board game fiend and has played the likes of Monopoly and Ludo since being a tiddler. So he was the best bet to try out Hotel Tycoon. Its aimed at his age group upwards and sees the players trying to buy and build the best hotels, earn the most money and bankrupt their opponents.

Basically you need to buy as many hotels as you can, hope all your fellow players land on yours and keep the money rolling in. Its easy to work out how to play and Ruaridh thought it was the best game ever!

The game has 3D hotels which children love and it’s a great way to occupy them over the Christmas holidays and who knows you may have a tycoon of the future perching next to you!

Hotel Tycoon game. For eight-year-olds upwards, rrp £24.99, check out www.esdeviumgames.com for stockists and other fabulous festive games.
