   Karma Tycoon is a new kind of video game. It has nicely done, splashy graphics and is
fun to play, but instead of trying to make a million dollars, users are making the
world a better place by running nonprofit organizations (homeless shelters,
animal shelters, youth centers, senior centers, and performing arts centers) in
different cities across the United States.
Players apply for grants and loans (and
learn the difference between them), outfit nonprofits with the basic necessities,
and watch the news ticker to make sure a hurricane doesn’t interfere with plans.
With successful management of funds, players are given additional grants and
donations, enabling their organization to grow in scale and offer more services to
further help the community.
The goal of the game is to serve as many people (or
animals) as possible, which will maximize karma, so players can move on the
next city and make a difference there, too. Simply put, the more people helped by
each player, the more karma is gained. Karma Tycoon is an engaging,
competitive, and nonviolent real-time strategy game that is both educational an
entertaining.

Reliable FunJonJon, Registered This is one of my best fall-back, "when I'm feeling a little bored and want to amuse myself" games. It's just challenging enough to snap me out of a mini-funk, but no so hard that it makes me feel worse. Great game. |
