A classic board game of strategy and negotiation.
Description
Businessman is a classic strategy board game for 2-4 players. The goal of the game is to become the wealthiest player by buying and selling properties, developing them with houses and hotels, and charging rent to other players. The game is played on a square board divided into 40 spaces, each representing a different property. Players take turns rolling two dice to move around the board, landing on different properties. If a player lands on an undeveloped property, they can purchase it from the bank. If they land on a developed property, they must pay rent to the owner. Players can also build houses and hotels on their properties to increase the rent they can charge. The game ends when one player goes bankrupt or all of the properties have been bought. The player with the most money at the end of the game wins.
