When I was doing a Google search recently about how to become a media mogul. The search turned up (among other things) a board game, aptly named Media Mogul: The Board Game. I was impressed. 1. Because it was a media oriented game and 2. because a women created it. Susannah Lees, the creator was inspired to put together the bored game based on her own experience working in the media. Wow, it goes to show that a lot of great things can be inspired by one's work. The game's company is based in England and it costs 24.95 Pounds. The website even comes with an interactive game demo in which you play again a virtual Rupert Murdoch (News Corp.), Richard Branson (Virgin) and Simon Cowell (American Idol). I played it and its fun!
The website said that, "Media Mogul is a fun and exciting game for 2-6 players. The aim is to become a “Media Mogul” by owning TV stations, radio stations and magazines in one market, to become a Music Maestro, Star Spotter, Culture Vulture, Fashion Diva, Action Man or Home Maker. Each player starts with a stash of Mundos – the Media Mogul currency – and the game begins with a roll of the 2 dice, one colour coded to indicate which Media group you can bid for, and the other to indicate how many of those sites you can bid for."
