Arcade Ownership Board Games

The Arcade Tycoon Family Board Game is Mini in Size to Play Anywhere

— November 30, 2016 — Life-Stages
Arcade Tycoon is a new family board game that allows players to partake in a little bit of arcade management to earn money and create an empire to win the top title. Suitable for between two and four players 12-years and older, Arcade Tycoon requires users to work their way around the board and manage video game arcade machines that they've placed.

Merging the play styles of many different games, Arcade Tycoon allows players to sabotage other players and even swap out machines to help maximize profits. The family board game features arcade machines that have been 3D-printed and a board that has bright visuals inspired by the aesthetic of a real-life arcade. At the end of the game, the winner is crowned the Arcade Tycoon and takes the title until another round is played.
Trend Themes
1. Board Game Reimagining - There's potential for board games inspired by popular hobbies such as arcade management to disrupt the traditional board game market.
2. Gamification of Indoor Activities - As people continue to spend more time indoors, gamifying indoor activities through board games like Arcade Tycoon represents an opportunity for disruption in the gaming industry.
3. Social Gaming - Games like Arcade Tycoon that encourage social play and creativity could disrupt the gaming industry and even the traditional concept of gaming itself.
Industry Implications
1. Board Game Industry - The board game industry can capitalize on the trend of reimagining traditional hobbies and games to create new, innovative products like Arcade Tycoon.
2. Gaming Industry - As the gaming industry continues to expand, there may be potential for games like Arcade Tycoon to broaden the appeal of the industry and attract more casual gamers.
3. 3D Printing Industry - Board games like Arcade Tycoon that incorporate custom 3D-printed elements create an opportunity for growth in the 3D printing industry beyond traditional applications.
