Boring for adults

Perhaps the problem is that I bought this game for myself, and I am over the age of 8 years.

The character art started off with promise but rapided declined into something miniaturized, boring and with about as much visual stimulation and interaction as an ant farm. I gave this game about 30 minutes of attention, before I decided that I could not bear looking at the boring, small figures of townspeople running up and down the streets of the village any longer.

Then, I deleted the game from my computer and decided to give it to my 8 year year old grandchild. I will let her know that this game does not require much participation. If she gets bored, she can give it to someone younger than herself.

Don't buy this game, if you are older than 8.

Not so much...

I am addicted to Roller Coaster Tycoon so have been trying out the other tycoon games. This one is the first disappointment. Too little interactions during the sell phase make it a guess and see type of game. Oh Well. My 5 year old nephew likes it....

Not much bang for your buck.

It's a fun game but it's easy to win and then it's done. Once a level is won it's not much fun playing it again.

Fairy Godmother Tycoon is not like Zoo Tycoon or Roller Coaster Tycoon.

All it takes to play is to set the variables (price, amounts, advertisement...etc.) and set the game into motion. There are a couple of spells that allow for changes after the game is started but they're generally useless.

I bought this game because I am very interested in magical stuff. But as I began to play the game, I realized it's not much of a magical game as I hoped it would be. It's more of a dealing game. Like, it's perfect for people who are interested in buying and selling. But overall, it's not bad.

One of the better "arcade-type"games

I am in my early 40's and really got hooked by Diner Dash, Cake Mania, etc., last year. This one got me good. I played it as a 60-minute demo out of boredom and could not stop. If you like games that challenge you, but you don't have to totally concentrate every second on what is happening - try this!

Fun way to pass time.

This game is fun and funny. The story line and little side comments are very cute. There is enough of a challenge to make it interesting, but it is also easy, simple and sweet. Nothing stressful, just a pleasant way to pass the time with a game that is fairly simple, but not so simple as to be boring.
I enjoyed it.

The best tycoon, possibly best casual game out there

I just finished this game and am in such a good mood about it. In fgt, the fairy godmother asks you to take back her potion business from various other franchises that have moved in on her territory, from the Bearzinis (three bears plus goldilocks) to Sneersworth (her former associate who has obvious loyalty issues.) In each level you have to set prices and buy products based on the spell forecast for the next day (as each level progresses, more spells take over the poor citizens and you have more than a few potions to use). The levels get gradually more difficult and I never felt too overwhelmed with anything. I had to restart a level a few times, but the game allows that with no problems. This game is perfect as a casual game and anyone can figure it out thanks to the fun tutorial level. Great game.

I liked this game from the start. Simple to play and fun. Everything moves pretty quick and you are given clear goals to achieve. Overall, the game gets 4 stars. Enjoy.

Sounds easy, but it is not

I really liked this product. Behind the light-hearted themes, there is an interesting game of business competition using good inventory control principles, marketing, and controlling of expenses. The game is very educational, and still a lot of fun.

Funny and challenging

This is a really cute game that has some very funny elements. I would recommend it for anybody, but it is great and educational for kids as it teaches about supply and demand. The only drawback of this game is that on a couple of the levels, it takes a long time to achieve your goal of driving your competitors out of business, and there really isn't anything you can do to speed the process up. But overall, the game is very good.
