Again, a fact check on the takings this turn would be appreciated but those two Truck Drivers, not to mention the third Santa Maria location, really did a number on everyone else.

Thanks to all my players for trying this out! I'm honestly stunned at how fast everyone's builds went, as I am terrible at this game. Hopefully the game itself went quick enough, but I think 20 days is a pretty good speed.

Important lesson: The "flood the market with demand, sell gold-plated burgers" strat does not work when your opponents can actually meet that demand.

Also, rush advertising is not worth passing up on Guru.
