"Lemonade? They want lemonade? What is the world
coming to?
I want commercials for burgers on all channels, every 15 minutes. We are
the Home of the Original Burger, not a hippie health haven. And place a
billboard next to that new house on the corner. I want them craving beer every
second they sit in their posh new garden." The new management trainee trembles
in front of the CEO and tries to politely point out that… “How do you mean,
we don't have enough staff? The HR director reports to you. Hire more people!
Train them! But whatever you do, don't pay them any real wages. I did not go
into business to become poor. And fire that discount manager, she is only
costing me money. From now on, we'll sell gourmet burgers. Same crap, double the
price. Get my marketing director in here!”
Food Chain Magnate is a heavy strategy game about building a fast-food chain.
The focus is on building your company using a card-driven (human) resource
management system. Players compete on a variable city map through purchasing,
marketing and sales, and on a job market for key staff members. The game can be
played by 2–5 serious gamers in 2–4 hours.
