Build-a-lot, the game that takes real estate to cyber estate!


First, this is a strategy game. Second, it is really fun to play. And third, it just may save you thousands of dollars if you have aspirations of entering the real estate market!

Build-a-lot enables you to address most if not all the problems associated with the real world of real estate. You build houses, your rent houses, you flip houses just as in the real world. Should you sell or is the market down and rent is a better option. Hold on to the property in hopes that the market will go up or sell now as the market is still in decline and cut your losses.

And what real world strategy game would be complete without corrupt government officials. Yep, you have to curry favor with the local officials by giving them perks such as building additions to their homes.

I found that the key to this game is not the "get rich quick" strategy that you are prone to follow when you first start. If you are conservative and follow a sound strategy, the rewards pay off big time down the line. Wow, this game is really just like real life!
