Fairy Godmother Tycoon: Warning: Addiction Curse!

I almost didn't give this brilliant game a chance - past experiences with tycoon games have left me a little cold towards them, but I'm glad I relented, and gave this one a shot.

This is one of the best games I've played - period!
Usually, tycoon games bore me comatose, but this one is a whole new ball game.

You master several fairy-tale style villages, until you've sent each of the competitor potion stores out of buisness, by checking the weather, to see what the likelihood of certain curses [swollen heads, broken hearts, irritable vowel syndrome, being set on fire, swearing, nudity, to name a few] will be, then buy the ingredients for the potions needed to cure these curses.
You can hire goons to help with marketing, or just an old fashioned strong-arming tactic, you can purchase upgrades for your stores, spells to help you sway customer loyalty, as well as help several fairy-tale characters in distress along the way.
If you should happen to go broke, the Fairy Godmother will pay off the loan-shark for you - just once, per village.

This differs greatly, from ANY tycoon game I have ever played, and I've played a LOT!
You won't be bored, it's just that much fun. :)

The animated villagers and goons are incredible, with the little animated curses each person may be suffering from, above their heads.
The soundtracks are perfect for this game, they are relaxing, and set the mood for the whole fairy-tale theme.
I can't fault it in any way.

Once you've completed the game, you can play it in happily ever after mode, just relaxing, and seeing how much cash you can make in each village.

You'd be missing out on something really good, if you didn't at least, download the demo.
You have nothing to lose, except hours - and hours - and hours -
Hours spent playing this fanciful enjoyable game :)

Huge thumbs up!

Totally bewitching

This has to be one of my favourite games of all time.

Before FGT, I've never played any tycoon games, but even then it wasn't too hard to pick up the strategies. It really does train your business savvy, albeit in a cute fairytale setting, with a wonderfully sarcastic twist. Think the Fairy Godmother in Shrek 2, yep, that kind of humour.

In this game, you play an apprentice to the Fairy Godmother, who makes people's wishes come true "for the PR, darling" using all sorts of wacky potions! Check the daily "weather reports", but instead of rainshowers and sunshine, you're looking to see whether there will be outbreaks of hilarious curses on the villagers. If the curse forecast is high, stock up on the ingredients, you'll run out quickly.

Also, allocate money to publicity, especially when starting out, using goons who range from cute (singing elves and such) to grotesque (trolls who'd intimidate shoppers to come your way instead of into the competitors' shops). Most importantly, put as much money into developing new potions as possible, that'll put you way ahead of your competitiors.

Along the way, you'll encounter all sorts of interesting characters straight from storybooks, and choosing the right things to say (they aren't instantly clear, mind you) may just give you some power boosts.

Even the graphics are awesome, and so's the sound; after playing I kept driving my sister insane by humming the cutesy, cheerful theme music.

I really can't find any fault with this game :)

Reformed Tycooner

I play tycoon games like they were going out of style. Ever play mall tycoon? I have. I thought I preferred live action tycoon games to 'buy your ingredients and hope for the best' tycoon games. This totally changed my mind.
The first time I played it I liked it, as the game became harder I found myself making bad choices and ending up worse off. Then my friend forced me to try it again as she explained what I was doing wrong. Turns out after years of mediocre tycoon games I was completely out of practice. Instead of stocking supplies and hitting start day you actually spend time before the day start. By the end of the game I was replacing goons, checking prices against the competitor thanks to my mole, checking the news, forecast, graphs and competitors information all before I would get around to buying supplies. The more customers you get the more likely you are to run out of supplies so even that was an actual aspect of the game. I can`t remember the last game where I used every tab in every section.
All that before the day started. Unlike other tycoon games you don`t just sit by passively during the day either. Or hit triple fast forward or go and make yourself a sandwich. Instead after the first few rounds when you get an idea about the flow of the crowds for when you put out your goons you get to upgrade spells. From stopping conversation to hooking groups of people more interested in your competitors or topping off your supplies mid day, or just seeing what people really think about your store I found myself actually playing through the day.
All around this is what tycoon games should be, all of them. Great backgrounds for screens you see all the time, mini quests, competitors who`s progress and eventual defeat you can watch, and who`s stores you can sabotage given the right goon, great game play. All that and the option to continue playing just for the spite of it. Love that and seriously what tycoon gamer wouldn`t?

Tips & Tricks for 'Fairy Godmother Tycoon':

	Login to edit this tip
1. Research, people!! put even 300 dollars into research and it really helps..once you get potions that are not available to your competitors, all you have to do is price them sky high (or at least the max that they recommend)!! there will be people who still buy it!! 2. buy the corporate mole asap, cos he really helps to deal with pricing. dont really worry about 'cash'. as long as your 'net worth' is high, everyone's happy and worse comes to worst, you can borrow from Mr. Loan shark. Its not that hard to make money. The difficult bit is breaking the competition. 3. The local characters (except for pandora - she's kinda useless) help a lot too - esp the barons, the shoe elves and the magician. 4. When you start hiring goons for marketing, your competitors will, as well.. So i prefer to not use them at the beginning.. they tend to be a waste of money. 5. upgrade, upgrade, upgrade.. Upgrade everything - your warehouse, potion-maker AND store front if you can afford it. Really helps to keep those customers flowing in. 6. When you need to send your competitors out of business, remember - the customer rules the show.. do whatever you can to get them to your store! goons help here once you have enough money. 7. If you find yourself running out of supplies especially for those potions which have expensive ingredients - its probably time to get money from Mr. Shark or upgrade you warehouse. And use the magic cookbook - saves so hair-pulling about the number of ingredients. 8. Never turn down characters who come to you asking for help.. they tend to give you money or popularity as a reward for your services. 9. If you get really bankrupt, your net worth gets to zero or you just want to start over, dont hesitate to restart the level. you dont lose any progress. 10. Just have fun! I wish it was longer had two or three more maps and more characters per level.. Start playing and you'll prolly think the same!

If you are lacking of money, go and borrow the max from the Loanshark. Not to worry when you went broke and couldn't pay off the loan, the Fairy Godmother will help you to pay off the loan and give you a bit of cash. Note that she will only help ONCE per village.

Don't try to increase your popularity and/or destroy your competition at the beggining of a level. Just play, increase your cash slowly, don't use any goons until your net worth is close to your opponents, only then start taking him out.

When you start off a level put the price of your potion at only $10 over how much it cost you. people will start to buy it.. as you get more popular you can raise that higher. Marketing--- be sure to pay attention to the population of the town because i found that the best way to get people into your shop is to send out the junk mail.. I never really hired the goons. Research-- I always put it at 50 beans a day. you get the new potion faster..even before your enemies have it. That helps a lot. Loan shark-- He's there for a reason.. I would take 1000 from him and upgrade the potion maker, the shop and the entertainment. The people in the towns get mad if they have to wait to long. Prices-- Once your get popular you have start to raise your prices. I would put the price of the potions that were not needed so much as only 10 beans over the cost it was to make it.. it sells more. The potions in high demand that day once i was popular i would raise them to 20-50 beans over the cost to make it. they might not leave with a smiley face over them but you are still popular and you made good beans.

Here's a good trick, When you start off a level, loan the max amount from the Loan Shark, then spend most of your beans on upgrades, supplies, research, and marketing. Get better potion makers first, the Hunchback will do fine, then get about 15-20 EACH of supplies needed for your first potion. Then spend on your marketing until you reach 30. DO NOT HIRE GOONS, they waste money, use them later on in the level. Then spend the rest on research. When you go broke, the Fairy Godmother will just pay the shark. No worries. :) Enjoy!

Tips for winning: 1. at the beginning of every level just borrow shark loan as much as you can. Use that to but some upgrade for portion maker and entertainment. when you r in debt fairy god mother will pay back for you:) ps: fairy god mother will only pay loan shark back for you when u have NO money left and also in debt. 2. DON'T use goon if ur competitor(s) didn't use them first!!! 3. ALWAYS market with brainwasher or more if u follow all that u should do great :))) ...click to reveal spoiler...

Invest in research, to have potions before your enemies. This way their popularity goes down and yours goes up.

Marketing is very important. Use that to 'kill' off your competition one by one by blocking the possible routes to one of your competitions. If you are lacking of money and just started the game, use the persuading troll near one of the doors of the houses closest to your shop.

at the start of each village make sure to buy extra supplies and if they are a good price stock up the best you can for what cash you have, keep prices low and spend about 20 on marketing to get a few people coming in, buy the oh hush spell so you can right click the conversation bubbles if someone is talking bad about your store or good about another so the word doesnt get around....always help the people that come in to your store, you normally end up getting money from them...never help sneersworth he cheats you, even when you dont he will a couple times...dont fire him for dressing up as el sneerswortho or whatever bc he sues you and you lose in court...or atleast i did when i accused him of stealing...dont go to the bears picnic or lunch whatever bc goldilocks will be at your shop stealing what ingredients you have. the best way i found to get money was to just keep up on potions and slowly go up on marketing and research, once i got enough customers for a line i would get new potion makers and bigger warehouse...try to save your money and then you can use the goons and freelancers to knock out the other stores fairly quickly...and if you have enough money try to get all the spy devices and hire the mole each day through the local characters tab, he lets you see your competitors prices so you know to charge a little less

I say always spen alot on research in the start because then you will get a head start with new potions. don`t be afraid of borrowing money from the loan shark just pay back often and loan often in that way it will be pretty godd.

Thanks folks for the tips, I was using Goons and upgrading without putting much money into resarch, while I got through every level without your tips. I couldn't beat the last one. Took your advice and it worked!! I bought the mole early on in all levels, he is truly worth getting into debt for as sometimes the opponents drop their prices so low it is unbelievable, but next time they will make it sky high, so you might lose money 1 day, but the next make a fortune!
