Is a city builder a subset of tycoon game that just focuses on managing a city or some other polity? Is a tycoon game a city builder except it’s open to you managing something that isn’t a town/city/state?

Crossposted to !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works here. (My instance would not give me the little Crossposted thing when this little bit wasn’t edited in and the posts were identical but in separate communities, so I figured I’d just do it myself. Wonder if this is just a my instance deal or if it happened for everyone. And if it happened for everyone, wonder if crossposting only gets auto-shown if it is a link post, and what the requirements are in general to make crossposting automatically show up.)

    I draw the line at the point of the game.

    Tycoon games are more about making money for the sake of spending that money on more things to make you money.

    City Builders are more about building the city and balancing a budget.
