What is Automobile Tycoon?

You run a car manufacturer from 1905 to 2020, with each turn representing a quarter. Research parts, develop models, expand factories, and manage pricing, distribution, and marketing while handling taxes and loans. Historical events such as world wars, economic crises, and inflation can be disabled.

+you enjoy balancing production, marketing, and company finances

Not for you if...

−you want detailed vehicle engineering rather than business management

What players say

Players praise the straightforward management and its resemblance to the older car-company game Detroit. Some find the simulation too shallow and its replay value limited.
