Type of game: Resource Management
Reccomended?: Yes
This 2 player game sees you managing competing restaurant chains aiming to control the largest market share.
Because one player controls a burger chain and the other a pizza chain you need different resources (cubes). To be the best though you need to take some of the stock your opponent needs to sabotage their expansion plans.
The more your chains grow the more resources are split between you and the more actions you can make to tip the balance in your favour.
As your chain grows you gain (and lose) victory points. If you end your turn with 12 you win.
Pretty simple to learn and pleasant enough to play but may be one of the games to go.
2 player games don't get much of a look in at game sessions so, unless Kate, my wife, really takes to them they become shelf filler. Which, with my self-imposed boundary of 100, means I may end up giving this the shove this year.
You can't see the utter humiliation you took from me both games in that photo. disappointing.
ReplyDeletethe cover art does make it look like the burger joint has landed on someone, crushing the very lifeblood from them.
