In brief
In Roller Coaster Tycoon, players compete to design the most exciting and profitable amusement park. Based on the popular PC game of the same name, this family-friendly board game blends light economic strategy with fast-paced tactical choices.
Each player takes turns buying and placing rides, then guiding guests through the park in hopes of earning the most points. Ownership of attractions plays a key role—if visitors ride your attractions, you earn their points! Strategic movement and ride placement are essential as players try to outmaneuver their opponents and claim the best locations for their park expansions.
The game features bidding, movement, and spatial tactics in a race to attract thrill-seeking crowds and become the ultimate theme park mogul.
