Technically speaking, tycoon games are a sub-genre of the ever-popular simulation games. Tycoon games, therefore, are games where you - the player - are given the reigns to handle great power, wealth, and influence. Over time, the word evolved its meaning to a businessperson with great power, wealth, and influence. The word tycoon came from the Japanese title “ 大君” or taikun, which meant a great lord without imperial blood.
