Billionaire is a monopoly type game but is more involved then monopoly. In monopoly you try to get monopolies so you can build hotels in hopes of bankrupting your opponents. In Billionaire you buy land on which you can build on immediately if you want. You have to build on it otherwise you don't get any money if somebody lands on it. You can also play the stock market, get loans, and so much more. You can choose to play until somebody becomes a billionaire, until a player obtains an amount you set, the one who has the most money after a time you set, or until your opponent is bankrupt. You can play against another person or the computer.

Instead of collecting $200.00 when you pass go you get a salary every time you pass start. You also get an extra 20% if you are the Mayor of Billionaire City, get 5% interest on your cash, and pay 14% interest on your loans. Your salary can be changed which can be changed by landing on a certain square and so on. There is just so many options it is sure to keep you entertained for hours.

This game may require you to roll a die but it is planning and cunning that will enable you to win the game not luck since you aren't dependent on somebody landing on your property to make money. This game is easy to use and fun to play. Go download the program and take advantage of the free trial but I am warning you that once you try it you will probably be hooked. Registering will get rid of the register reminders and allow you to compare your scores to those of other billionaire players.
