Be Richer!
Platform: Mac, Windows
Be Richer! is here! Hot on the heels of the latest Build-a-lot release comes the sequel to Divo Games' Be Rich! and boy does it take real estate management to a new level.
Be Richer!, like its predecessor, is a mix of tycoon management, time management, and a casual sim. The emphasis in both Be Rich! games is on pure profit, stripping away a lot of extraneous tasks such as materials handling and labor management. Be Richer! moves itself further away from the Build-a-lot series (which it obviously emulates) by placing even more emphasis on property management, edging even closer to a sim game. Welcome to the newest feature of the series: complaining tenants and rent strikes!
The basic premise is simple: arrive in a neighborhood and meet a few improvement goals. Start by picking a helper who will pop up from time to time to give advice as you progress. This time around you are working in the outer boroughs of and eventually within the fictional city of Richmond. The levels start out with simple goals such as building a few small houses or businesses as directed by the mayor or other official. The grid is pretty flexible, you can build onto any empty space so long as it is large enough for the building footprint. Be Richer! has upped the stakes on its predecessor by adding empty lots for sale and overgrown lots which can be bulldozed to make room for more buildings. Purchase empty lots as soon as possible, as a competitor can come in and build, forcing you to pay more for a completed structure if you need room to complete your goals.
Building, upgrading, and all other tasks are as simple as clicking your mouse. Use the easy-to-access menu at the bottom of the screen to choose residential or commercial buildings, or add decorative features to boost appeal and rent. Start with a basic headquarters that can accommodate up to five construction teams and upgrade as necessary within each scenario. Don't like the road layout? Feel free to demolish and rebuild to suit your plans, but don't forget that road access is critical to construction. If your building site is not accessible by road then nothing will be constructed. Go wild and build the neighborhood of your dreams! But don't forget the goals.
Be Richer! has added several fun new scenarios that increase the depth and difficulty of gameplay. Gone are the repair shops, so be prepared to do a lot of maintenance. The constantly-upgrading company headquarters has been replaced with an actual management team. Each manager has a different salary and can help productivity in a different way, but be warned: there are a limited number of management slots. Choose a team that can help smooth the way and make changes as the game progresses and you need to emphasize a different area of expertise. As in real life, the roads will now deteriorate, forcing you to keep an eye out as the worsening conditions will slow down your construction vehicles. Adding even more verisimilitude are the rent strikes: tenants will not be happy if they do not have access to commercial properties. In addition to everything else you must make sure that all residential structures are within the radius of some shop or other commercial enterprise. Ah, consumerism at its finest!
Analysis: Once again Divo Games has knocked it out of the park. Gameplay is deeper, richer, and more satisfying as Be Richer! moves further away from the Build-a-lot series that inspired it. The addition of the management team, the road system, the rent strikes, and other fun surprises push Be Rich! closer towards reality (or towards the old Sim City games).
As with any sequel, Be Richer! has ramped up gameplay by adding new housing types, new commercial businesses, and new decorative features. Divo has taken the time to make the game look even better in all the small details. People and cars still wander the streets, but look closely. Traffic signs, traffic lights, billboards, push-cart businesses, bus stops, subway stations, all sorts of real-life elements have been added to make Be Richer! a more pleasant treat for the eyes. New sound effects for the businesses will startle a laugh from the player ("You look fabulous!" when an event is going on in the beauty salon). In addition enjoy helicopters randomly flying by overhead, presumably rushing to give a traffic report.
Starting in the outer suburbs and working your way inward towards the city proper, gameplay starts out slow and moves towards frantic so gradually you'll hardly notice. 40 screens of career mode (with goals and time limits) and six screens of "sandbox" or casual gameplay round out the experience. Each section is a self-contained unit, dividing the gameplay into bite-size chunks of yummy real estate goodness. Play a few neighborhoods at a time or rush to rebuild the entire city; the decision is in the hands of the gamer.
From building neighborhoods to buying movie-star houses, from constructing railway stations to buying a lion for the zoo, Be Richer! is even more engaging than the original. Perfect for casual gameplay, beautiful, addictive, and just downright fun, Be Richer! once again delivers (as do the new pizza parlors)!

Be Richer Walkthrough
General Information
There is no one "set" solution for each round. This walkthrough gives the solution I found, there may be others.
Your initial headquarters will only allow you to have up to 5 trucks at a time. To get more trucks you must upgrade your headquarters. The highest upgraded headquarters will allow for 21 trucks total.
Roads will deteriorate over time! Remember to keep an eye on your roads and rebuild where necessary. Worn down roads cause construction vehicles to move very slowly.
Watch out for rent strikes. Be sure to build at least one commercial structure that affects each of your residential buildings. Tenants that don't have access to commercial structures will refuse to pay rent.
There are 40 career levels and 6 sandbox levels.
There are no time limits to finishing career levels, however there is a bonus if you manage to complete them within the timeframe given for "expert".
Large construction projects (zoo, train station, etc.) will go quicker the more trucks you can assign to the task. Levels with these structures require that you upgrade headquarters as soon as feasibly possible.
Occasionally you will find yourself in possession of broken down houses. These will not generate rent unless restored. You have a choice whether to restore the house or demolish to make room for another structure.
As with Be Rich you can lay down new roads or demolish old roads. Make sure that your construction vehicles can reach all areas.
Some areas of scrub and trees can be cleared with the bulldozer at the cost of $1,000 per square. Do so whenever possible, premium (star) areas may be lurking under the underbrush.
In some screens there will be empty lots for sale. Buy them as soon as possible, otherwise they will be built on.
Hire managers to make construction more efficient, roads deteriorate more slowly, houses sell at a better price, etc.
You will start the game with 2 manager slots. Towards the end you will have 6 manager slots. However, there are many more managers than slots. Choose wisely.
Two managers you really should have: the one who prevents all road deterioration, and the one who prevents any building breakdowns.
Hover your mouse over large construction projects (zoo, train station, etc.) to see an estimate of how long the project will take.
If you hover your mouse on a building that is behind another building, the front building will "fade" so that you can see the building behind.
Only upgrade your headquarters if you need more than 5 construction trucks.
Selling your houses is different this time around. You can choose to sell cheap and quick, for market price, for above market price (takes longer), or take out a mortgage.
Watch your businesses closely. When a star appears click it and a special event will happen. This brings in extra money.
The time starts as soon as your conversation ends, so move quickly.

While the second high-rise is being built upgrade headquarters and buy more trucks.
