INTRODUCTION
Tycoon is the play-by-email game for people that like to make obscene amounts
of money, retire early and join the Reform Club, where they can sit around all
day reading the Times and complaining about dole-bludgers. The game is open-
ended, so you can join at any time, make as much virtual money as possible,
then retire when it all becomes too much. If you do particularly well, your
name will be recorded for all time (well, for some time anyway) in the Reform
Club's Roll of Officebearers. To get there, you'll need to pick your employer
and employees (other players in the game) carefully, while shrewdly investing
in (and possibly directing the affairs of) various companies in the game.
