In “Reaping the Rewards,” I take a look at the finished product from a Kickstarter campaign. Today’s title: Raccoon Tycoon, which was funded on Kickstarter in July 2018, and delivered to backers in early 2019. This review is based on my sponsored Kickstarter Tabletop Alert, updated to reflect the final components.
The age of industry has arrived in Astoria — will you be able to make your fortune? Produce key commodities, invest in new towns, and buy railroads to show you’re the savviest Raccoon Tycoon!
What Is Raccoon Tycoon?
Raccoon Tycoon is a game for 2 to 5 players, ages 8 and up, and takes about 90 minutes to play. It retails for $49 and is available directly from Forbidden Games, from Amazon, and at your local game store. The game is not too complex to learn, but because the economics are largely driven by the players, it still allows for deeper strategies and good player interaction.
