About the game

You start with one restaurant in a town that has not learned to want anything yet. You hire staff, train them, run marketing, and turn the district’s changing taste into sales.

Every employee hands you an action, and the actions are cards. Each round the whole table commits what it will do and in what order, then the choices resolve from cheapest to most expensive.

There is no catch-up built in. The first chain to empty the bank ends the game, and the chain with the most money wins.

A round, in order

  1. 1

    Plan the staff

    Choose the actions your current employees will give you this round, in secret.

  2. 2

    Resolve in order

    Choices resolve from cheapest to most expensive, round after round.

  3. 3

    Serve the demand

    Marketing brings buyers out; meet them with food and drink to take their money.
