## What is Motor Baron?

It is January 1900. The automobile is a rich man's toy, the roads are mud, and you have $25,000 and an idea.

Motor Baron: 1900 is the free first chapter of Motor Baron, a car company tycoon game played one month at a time. Found your company and guide it through the first 16 years of the motor age, to December 1915.

DESIGN YOUR FIRST CAR Pick the market segment, chassis, suspension, engine, gearbox, body and build quality, and see how buyers will rate it before you spend a dollar.

BUILD THE FACTORIES Start with craftsmen at benches, then move up to machine shops and interchangeable parts. Add lines, keep crews on the same model so they get faster, and choose where to build.

SELL COAST TO COAST Sign dealers across 12 regions of America, set their margins and keep them happy.

TAKE ON THE RIVALS Other carmakers launch new models and cut prices to win the same buyers. Find the gaps and take the market.

RACE FOR GLORY Enter hill climbs, reliability trials, road races, beach speed trials and endurance tours. Winning sells cars.

LIVE LIKE A BARON Spend your fortune on a town house, a mansion or a steam yacht, or fund libraries and parks that carry your name.

KEEP GOING When 1915 ends, your story can continue. Export your save and import it into Motor Baron, the full game, to play on through the Roaring Twenties, the Depression, the Second World War and the postwar boom, all the way to 1970.
