DESCRIPTION OF BOARD GAME FOOD CHAIN ​​MAGNATE

 The board game Food Chain Magnate will take game participants to the United States around the 50's and 60's, when the network business of world brands of fast food cafes was just beginning to be built. Do you think that McDonalds or Burger King immediately became world tycoons in the fast food industry ?! No, it all started with one small cafe in one small town. With successful management, the second institution was opened, then the third, etc. Players of the food game Food Chain Magnate will have to be at the origins of this business. When there is only you - the future owner of a restaurant chain, there is an idea and nothing more, even money ... Where to start?

LET'S CONSIDER THE CITY IN WHICH WE WILL OPEN THE RESTAURANT

 Before the game, a map of the city is laid out on the table. The whole city consists of square tiles with roads and empty spaces for future houses, gardens and of course restaurants. Tiles are laid out in a square, and depending on the number of participants, this square can be 3x3 or 5x4 (with the maximum number of players).

EVERYTHING IS DECIDED BY STAFF

 All the staff working in the restaurants are represented in this game in the form of cards. Each employee has their own specialization, properties and characteristics. But let's go in order. As we said, at first there is only you - the business owner. You need helpers to get started. A business owner can only manage three people, so you can hire no more than three people. These three will be senior executives and will each be responsible for their own direction.

 First of all, the business owner hires a personnel specialist (black card), who will select the staff and raise their qualifications. He takes on two regular staff specialists, each of whom, in turn, can also hire one new employee. The number of employees under his supervision depends on the level of the specialist he heads - from 2 to 10 people of different specialties.

WE CONTINUE RECRUITMENT

 Don't forget that we have a restaurant, so we need a full staff of professionals. These are chefs, chefs, waitresses, marketers, loaders, drivers, messengers and more. All staff cards are initially in the labor market. Alternately and gradually, the players gather their team of employees. There are 7 types of employees of different qualification levels in the game.

ADVERTISING ENGINE TRADE

 The empty city will gradually be built up with houses, and in order for the inhabitants of the houses to go to your restaurant, you need advertising. Each employee who is responsible for the restaurant's advertising campaign has two main characteristics:

• How far from his restaurant he can spread advertising. For example, a boy who puts up posters can only work two blocks from a restaurant - no more than:
• How long will it last. Depending on the qualifications of the marketer, different advertising campaigns have their own duration, which is indicated by the number of product chips in the advertising space.

GAME PROCEDURE

 The first restaurants were built, staff recruited, advertising launched. Let's start the gameplay. Globally, the course of players is divided into two phases:

 Selection of staff (from those available) who will work in this round. Other employees may be considered either part-time or in-service training.

 Activation of the action of each employee depending on his capabilities.

 The players perform the first phase of the round at the same time, hiding from each other. But this is the only hidden action in the game Food Chain Magnate. The rest of the information is open and available to rivals. The second phase is performed by players in turn, successively performing the following actions:

• Hiring new employees. You can skip this action if you don't need to.
• Advanced training of the employee. For only those who did not go to work today.
• Advertising campaign. Hire your agent according to his qualifications.
• Delivery of food and drinks to the restaurant. According to the available staff in the restaurant, prepare or deliver the required amount of food to your establishment (because guests will come to you for dinner).
• Construction. If your company has builders, send them to build new homes and gardens in the city, and if necessary, your second restaurant.

 The sequence of moves is very important, determined by special rules and marked with chips on the tablet.

RESIDENTS OF THE CITY GATHERED FOR DINNER

 There are several factors that determine where city dwellers go to dinner. There are four main criteria:

• Advertising of the institution. Homeowners need to know about the restaurant. You had to take care of it during the day, sending an advertising agent.
• Distance from the house. Remember that, other things being equal, city dwellers will go to dinner at the nearest restaurant, and they will not care how much money you spend on advertising.
• Prices for products. A very important factor. When choosing a restaurant, visitors will comprehensively consider both components: the price of dinner and the distance from home. They may go to a more distant restaurant with lower prices, but they may also visit the nearest establishment with higher prices. They will do what is best for them, but it can be calculated.
• Availability of popular products in the restaurant. Depending on the advertising campaigns conducted by you or your competitors, tokens of food that the residents of this house want to taste today will appear on the tiles of the houses. If your restaurant can not satisfy at least one unit of food, the inhabitants of this house will go to another restaurant, or even stay for dinner at home.

COMPETITORS DO NOT SLEEP

 Restaurants that have employees that track prices and the range of competitors have certain advantages over them. For example, seeing that all restaurants sell burgers for $ 10, you can lower the price to $ 9-8 and take all the visitors. The opposite situation is also possible, if you see that none of your competitors sell pizza today, and the demand for it in the city is great, why not increase the price ?! You will need a special employee for such financial tricks.

DIPLOMAS AND AWARDS

 Board game Food Chain Magnate is just full of all sorts of nuances. We cannot put all of them in the description. But believe me, there are a lot of them, they are very important and perfectly balanced in the overall game mechanics. The last nuance that we will highlight are the diplomas and awards that restaurants receive during the game for certain achievements. For example, "First Advertising Campaign" or "First Discount in a Restaurant". There are many such awards, and we want to say that the innovative bonuses in the game are quite significant, with their help it will be easier to win a joint victory.

END OF THE GAME

 To describe the conditions of the end of the game, we return to its very beginning. After all, at the very beginning, the bank of the city's residents has only $ 50. It is with this money that restaurant visitors will pay their owners, and they will pay staff salaries. When the pot is empty, players will add to it the capital they took at the beginning of the game as a reserve amount. The amounts set aside by the players at the beginning of the game are secret, so no one knows what the total pot will be like after it is replenished, and the strategy and duration of the game depend on it. As soon as the bank is empty for the second time, the game ends and the richest participant becomes the winner.
