"Fairy Godmother Tycoon" is the first "Tycoon" game I ever played, and because of how great it is I've become addicted to playing the whole Tycoon series!

In this game you've been hired by the Fairy Godmother to re-build her potions empire. Your goal is to increase sales & take business away from the competition, ultimately putting them out of business. You do this by:

*Checking the weather report daily, as this lets you know the percentage of the population that will need your potions that day.

*Ensuring that you purchase enough stock each day & that you've priced the potions appropriately - if you price them too high no one will buy, but if you set the price too low you won't make enough of a profit.

*Choosing how much to spend on marketing & research

*Paying attention to the sales reports to see how happy your customers are, the number of lost sales, & how you are doing in relation to the competition.

*And purchasing upgrades that will allow you to:
1. Help your store look better
2. Decrease the time it takes to make potions
3. Keep customers entertained while they're waiting
4. Increase wharehouse size
5. Put various spells on townspeople & competition

If you find that you need additional funds to get going, you can always visit the loanshark - but the interest rates are REALLY high!

You can also make additional cash by helping out various fairytale characters like the tortoise & the hare, the 3 bears, & Rapunzal in hysterical fairy-tale spin-offs/spoofs that pop up here & there.

It might sound complicated but its really not - a great tutorial is included that walks you through everything - in fact, it's one of the best tutorials I've seen.

Overall, this game is AWESOME! But be warned, it's HIGHLY addictive! I think it would be great for older kids as well as adults. I am 37 years old & couldn't get enough of it!

I am in my early 40's and really got hooked by Diner Dash, Cake Mania, etc., last year. This one got me good. I played it as a 60-minute demo out of boredom and could not stop. If you like games that challenge you, but you don't have to totally concentrate every second on what is happening - try this!

This game is fun and funny. The story line and little side comments are very cute. There is enough of a challenge to make it interesting, but it is also easy, simple and sweet. Nothing stressful, just a pleasant way to pass the time with a game that is fairly simple, but not so simple as to be boring.
I enjoyed it.

This game is a wonderful form of entertainment. You're part of the fairy godmother's family and you have to rebuild her empire from the ground up. You face comical opponents like the NSH (Not-So-Hansome)Princes, who is headed by Prince Combover. It is a very funny game and you get to help fairy tale creatures as well in some pop up scenerios. As you advance through the levels, it definetly becomes more challenging. You are also able to upgrade a lot throughout the game. The tutorial was a big help. Fun fun fun!!!

I really liked this product. Behind the light-hearted themes, there is an interesting game of business competition using good inventory control principles, marketing, and controlling of expenses. The game is very educational, and still a lot of fun.

This is one fun game! I played it and got hooked. My daughter is hooked on it, too. I call it educational because it truly is. You have to be able to buy supplies (hopefully buying when they are low and having enough on hand so you don't have to buy when they are high-priced), create a product, price a product correctly according to the supply and demand, market a product well, and sell the product. This is a great tool to teach my daughter about supply and demand in a very fun atmosphere. The graphics are cute and the theme is entertaining. I recommend Fairy Godmother Tycoon. It is very enjoyable to play.

This is a really cute game that has some very funny elements. I would recommend it for anybody, but it is great and educational for kids as it teaches about supply and demand. The only drawback of this game is that on a couple of the levels, it takes a long time to achieve your goal of driving your competitors out of business, and there really isn't anything you can do to speed the process up. But overall, the game is very good.

I bought Fairy Godmother Tycoon on a whim. It caught my interest because you make potions and sell them to the villagers to increase your profits and ultimately run your competition out of business. I thought; sounds interesting. Now that I have the game and have played it; I love it! When I start a new store in a village I can't stop until I have run the competition out of town. AND WIN! HeHe! Get the game it is loads of fun.Fairy Godmother Tycoon

I liked this game from the start. Simple to play and fun. Everything moves pretty quick and you are given clear goals to achieve. Overall, the game gets 4 stars. Enjoy.

I just finished this game and am in such a good mood about it. In fgt, the fairy godmother asks you to take back her potion business from various other franchises that have moved in on her territory, from the Bearzinis (three bears plus goldilocks) to Sneersworth (her former associate who has obvious loyalty issues.) In each level you have to set prices and buy products based on the spell forecast for the next day (as each level progresses, more spells take over the poor citizens and you have more than a few potions to use). The levels get gradually more difficult and I never felt too overwhelmed with anything. I had to restart a level a few times, but the game allows that with no problems. This game is perfect as a casual game and anyone can figure it out thanks to the fun tutorial level. Great game.
