Richman (Chinese: 大富翁; pinyin: Dà Fùwēng; literally: "Big Tycoon") is a series of computer board games created and published by Softstar Entertainment from Taiwan.
Similarly to the Monopoly board game, players must gain the most wealth and/or bankrupt other players as they traverse in a game board, filled with property plots and other special tiles. The goal is achieved mainly by purchasing property and receiving rent from opponents, or investing in a simulated stock market. The gameplay usually also features a selection of minigames, special items and random events that can change the standings.
Richman 8, released in 2006, was claimed to be the last main series Richman game, as a consequence of "shrinking single-player markets and lack of breakthrough in gameplay". However, spin-off titles including Richman 4 Fun for iOS and Android platforms and Richman WEB were released after that. A Beijing subsidiary of Softstar has also licensed the development of a mobile-only Richman 9 to a Hangzhou company.
