Biographical history
Produced by BMI Print (Division) Limited of Weston-super-Mare, the aim of the game is to land on the Maxwell Squares of the playing board and collect the five items - newspaper owner, yacht owner, football club director, cigar smoker and pension fund administrator - which enable you to become a tycoon. Risk squares around the board help you win or lose the cards. The game is won by reaching the pension fund.
The game was produced in the wake of the Maxwell Scandal in 1991, when the death of the media proprietor Robert Maxwell revealed that he had misused £450 million of his Mirror Group's pension fund.
