Description Edit | History

This Wolfgang Kramer offering is widely overlooked because it came out on the heels of his other very successful game, El Grande. In this game, players are businessmen traveling around the world, doing what businessmen do: making money. In this case, business is defined as opening hotels and factories in major cities, like Sydney, Cairo, and New York. Hotels in a given city earn money for the player with the most hotels on the city, as well as having second most. As the number of hotels on a particular city increases, however, the payout can ultimately decrease and older hotels become inactive until they are refurbished.

1 Tycoon scoring table overlay - El Capitán Style
This is a rather quick and dirty photoshop job on a scoring table overlay based on the changes in El Capitán. It's to scale so you can print it out and put it on top of the old table. I've also included spaces for the bonuses you get for establishing in nine cities. The players can just use one of their extra factories to put in the bonus space (you only need three factories when playing El Capitán style, so there are a couple to spare.
