Our take on Market Tycoon
Food does not remain on the shelves indefinitely: items expire and are removed, while customers also take products one at a time. That gives stock management a time-based constraint alongside rent, electricity, and salary costs.
What is Market Tycoon?
Run a supermarket that grows from a small mini market into a hypermarket.
Arrange and customize the interior by painting walls and positioning cashiers, shelves, and fridges. Select goods to stock, hire or dismiss employees, set discounts, and advertise the store. Food products expire and disappear from shelves when left too long, while customers remove items individually. Track rent, electricity expenses, and employee salaries, with costs varying by environment. Choose locations such as a city center, mall, or highway market, each with different electricity costs and population density. The game includes 154 item types and Steam Workshop support for additional content.
