Food Chain Magnate
"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.
German:
"Limonade? Sie wollen Limonade? Was ist mit der Welt los? Ich will Werbung für Burger auf allen Kanälen, alle 15 Minuten. Wir sind die Heimat des Original-Burgers, kein Hippie-Gesundheitsparadies. Und stellen Sie eine Werbetafel neben das neue Haus an der Ecke. Ich will, dass sie jede Sekunde, in der sie in ihrem schicken neuen Garten sitzen, nach Bier lechzen." Der neue Management-Trainee zittert vor dem CEO und versucht, höflich darauf hinzuweisen, dass... "Wie meinen Sie das, wir haben nicht genug Personal? Der Personaldirektor berichtet an Sie. Stellen Sie mehr Leute ein! Bilden Sie sie aus! Aber was auch immer Sie tun, zahlen Sie ihnen keine echten Löhne. Ich bin nicht ins Geschäft eingestiegen, um arm zu werden. Und feuere diese Discount-Managerin, sie kostet mich nur Geld. Von nun an werden wir Gourmet-Burger verkaufen. Derselbe Mist, nur doppelt so teuer. Holen Sie meinen Marketingdirektor her!"

Una delicia de juego. Cada jugador gestiona una cadena de comida rápida. Es muy interesante cómo se seleccionan las acciones. Se trata de formar una jerarquía de trabajo con cartas y cada carta permite hacer una acción. Hay contratadores, productores (de bebida y comida), entrenadores (para subir de nivel el resto de las cartas) y un largo etc. Además, hay una serie de bonus que premian cumplir determinada condición y una vez que se otorgan (a quienes cumplan la condición en el mismo turno) ya no están disponibles en el juego. La ayuda tiene pinta de menú de hamburguesería. Luego hay un siste
Great game
Good game. Difficult to learn. You can lose all in the first round. Your decisions could make win or lose everything
Seems to have some interesting mecanics, we played only a short game, since who know the game best, resigned early 2nd round, forseeing who would win it. It seems punishing like Monopoly, but will that probably figuring out, playing more openings.
