Roller Coaster Tycoon (2002)

About this game

(From the box) Do you have what it takes to create the heart-pounding excitement of an amusement park? Compete against your opponents and build the biggest and best park. Own the rides and attractions, then compete to get the guests on 'em. If you control the rides and attractions that the guests love you'll collect points every time they take a ride.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
