Splotter brutal market, no luck
Food Chain Magnate is a heavy game (weight 8/10). The decision tree is among the deepest in the hobby (10/10), with meaningful long-term planning every turn. Decision density is intense (8/10) — expect brain-burn and the occasional bout of AP. Interaction is maxed (10/10) — every turn shapes what your opponents can do. Direct conflict exists but is contained (6/10).
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.

Variance is low across the board (input 1/10, output 0/10) — this is a skill game with little to blame the dice for. Be warned: catch-up is weak (2/10) — early stumbles can be hard to recover from.
The theme is well-integrated (7/10). There's a clear engine-building feel (engine 6/10).
