Food Chain Magnate by Splotter

Food Chain Magnate is a strategic, competitive board game about building and managing a fast food empire. Set in a retro 1950s-style world, players take on the role of restaurant tycoons trying to dominate the local market by hiring staff, developing menus, marketing to neighborhoods, and outmaneuvering rivals.

At its core, the game features deep strategic planning and economic management. Each round, players organize their company by selecting employees for various roles—such as cooks, marketers, waitresses, or managers—and execute actions accordingly. You’ll need to decide whether to focus on burgers, pizzas, or drinks, and how to attract the most customers.

Marketing is key: players can place billboards and radio ads to create demand in the city, then position restaurants to fulfill it. But beware—competition is fierce, and prices matter. The game rewards efficiency, long-term planning, and adaptability.

With a modular board, variable setup, and numerous strategic paths, Food Chain Magnate offers high replayability and is beloved by fans of heavy economic games.
