“Trevor Chan is best known for the Seven Kingdoms and Capitalism series, and you might be surprised to see his name on Restaurant Empire, something a little more benign than his games of conquest and business domination. But his fingerprints are all over this game: superb detail and thoughtful, smooth gameplay. Oh yeah, and domination plays a part too.”
