Learn Food Chain Magnate
Learn the game in 5 short steps. Everything links to the full rules.
The goal
Read Teach the Game aloud. You run a fast food chain and the most cash at the end wins. You start with $0 and only a CEO. The game ends when the bank runs out of cash for the second time.
Set up
Open Setup with first game ticked. Lay out the map, fill the bank and the employee tray, then place your starting restaurant with its entrance corner next to a road.
Your company: who works this round
Each round, secretly choose which employees work under your CEO; the rest go on the beach. Your CEO has 3 work slots; managers add more. Then hire and train on your turn (How to Play).
Dinnertime
Marketing puts demand on houses. At Dinnertime each house eats at a connected restaurant that has its whole order, at the lowest price plus distance (Dinnertime).
Pay and grow
Pay $5 for each employee with a salary, even on the beach. Race for milestones, then choose when to stop growing and start selling (Milestones, Tips & Strategy).
