About This Game
The year is 1850. America is booming.
Railroads stretch across the frontier. Gold rushes ignite fortunes overnight. Coal mines, cotton mills, and steamboat lines fuel an unstoppable industrial revolution. In this land of opportunity, only the boldest and shrewdest investors will rise to the top.
Billionaire in the Greedy America is a deeply simulated financial tycoon game where you start as an ambitious investor and fight your way to the top of Wall Street — one trade, one acquisition, one hostile takeover at a time.
Trade Everything
Navigate a living, breathing financial ecosystem across 20 US states, each with its own economy, central bank, and political landscape.
- Stock Market — Buy, sell, and short-sell shares in dozens of companies. Watch prices react to earnings, market trends, and your own trades.
- Commodities — Speculate on oil, coal, steel, wheat, gold, lumber, cotton, sugar, and aluminum. Commodity prices ripple through industries, affecting the companies you own.
- Bonds — Invest in corporate and state bonds with realistic yield curves. Balance risk and return across maturities up to 30 years.
- Real Estate — Build or buy commercial properties, luxury mansions, rental buildings, and even sport clubs across the nation.
Build Your Corporate Empire
When you acquire enough shares in a company, you take control. Then the real game begins.
- Hire and fire CEOs — Choose between aggressive, conservative, balanced, cost-cutting, or innovative management styles.
- Manage operations — Set R&D budgets, marketing spend, pricing strategies, and expand with new branches in other states.
- Execute corporate maneuvers — Launch IPOs, leveraged buyouts, greenmail attacks, mergers, extraordinary dividends, and corporate restructurings.
