Fortune Builder has it all! Educational and fun, FORTUNE BUILDER lets you plan, build and run your own community. Race against time to achieve your financial goal in a One-Player Game or compete with another tycoon in a Two-Player Game. Either way. Fortune Builder is a challenge. Your community will be laid out on a map of undeveloped land, consisting of a seacoast with beachfront. two mountain ranges, midlands, a river and a lake, with a main highway running north and south. You'll start with a fixed amount of cash, enabling you to buy and build a large variety of proper-ties: hotels, condos, marinas, factories, malls, gas stations and numerous other facilities. The challenge is to build them where they will draw the most traffic, thereby increasing profits. And all the while, you must keep an eye on bulletins that may affect your efforts, watching for changes in every-thing from consumer trends to the weather. Fortune Builder teaches problem solving and helps you learn, in a way both fun and realistic, about economics, geography, sociology, investments and the effects of the environment and current events on industry and the marketplace.

The fact I want to replay this to see if I can win says a lot. Once I get all my todo stuff done for the day and exercises done, Imma give this another try! While not sleeping well last night (because my car was leaking oil and ComEd is digging into our yard lol), I realized I might have been placing Tollbooths where they can't connect, that I started rough with the playthrough I deemed my final playthrough so it's worth another try with a clearer understanding of the gameplay, and that I focused too much on build-build-build rather than letting my investments settle for a while and building mid-game based on the newsflashes. Definitely have a feeling this will boost the rating.
