Genre: Economic

The economic games here are about turning a little into a lot. Food Empire puts you in charge of a food stall: you start with lemonade, pizza and ice cream and spend your earnings on a bigger menu. PrintMaster 3D: Printing Tycoon begins with a single printer — take customer orders, buy new workstations, research materials and upgrade your equipment.

Mayor Simulator works on a larger scale: you build and upgrade districts, keep an eye on the economy and take advice from the mayor of the town next door. All three move at an unhurried pace, which makes them a good fit for a quiet evening of counting profits and planning your next investment.
