## Description

As with Blue Chip’s other business simulation games, the objective in _Baron_
is to get filthy rich by speculating and trading – this time around, in the
American real estate market. The game is turn-based: each turn represents one
month of market activities, and allows you to eyeball the market trends, get
the lowdown on various properties, buy/sell them, trade in options and and
take out loans. You start out with $35,000 in cash and the status of Novice,
which carries some limitations like lower loans and high closing costs on
sales. As you increase your net worth, becoming an Investor or a Banker, the
limitations relax and you gain better leverage.

The goal is to achieve the status of Baron by piling up a net worth of
$1,000,000 within 60 months, but if you pull that off, you may still opt to go
for the next million and see how quick you can get there. On the other hand, a
lack of business savvy may leave you bankrupt. Up to 14 players may record
their status and history, although only one can play at a time. A single game
session may be saved to disk and resumed later.
