Description provided by RTFM on YouTube:

Learn how to play Food Chain Magnate's Ketchup Expansion in just 17 minutes (yes I know the runtime is a little longer than that, there's a bit of silliness at the front and back) To support RTFM, consider pledging at http://patreon.com/RTFM Want to buy this game? Get it here https://amzn.to/3r4aC7d and it'll kick back a few bucks to me (or go to your friendly local game store, that's cool too) 0:00 - Intro 1:09 - Starting Modules 1:37 - New Milestones 4:07 - Coffee 5:58 - 6 Player Mode and new tiles 7:11 - Reserve Prices 7:33 - Hard Choices 7:55 - Ketchup Milestone 8:35 - Fry Chef 8:53 - Gourmet Food Critic 9:11 - Movie Stars 10:00 - Night Shift Manager 10:42 - Lobbyists 12:55 - Mass Marketeers 13:36 - Rural Marketeers 14:38 - New Food 14:58 - Noodles 15:29 - Sushi 15:56 - Kimchi Corrections: In the Reserve Prices module, in case of a tie, the higher value doesn't win. While the $20 cards will beat $5 and $10, the $5 cards will also beat the $10.

About Food Chain Magnate: The Ketchup Mechanism & Other Ideas, from BoardGameGeek:

"Chef! Some of our guests are asking for ketchup. Do we have any?" "We don't serve ketchup in this company." "Also they are asking whether the restaurant will expand anytime soon? There's a restaurant in the new quarter and with all the roadwork lately, it is getting a lot of traffic." "Can't you see I am working on my new masterpiece? How can I concentrate like this? I need that Michelin star! And this new sushi dish is just the thing. Or maybe if I combine kimchi with ice cream..." "But chef. Your guests are not asking for fancy stuff; they want ketchup and coffee. And better decorations. And a new menu." "Get out of my kitchen. Now!" The Ketchup Mechanism & Other Ideas is an expansion for Food Chain Magnate. Includes: a new set of milestones that completely changes strategic options coffee and barista's: places where people stop on the way to get food new districts with different types of buildings lobbyists that can place parks and new roads new types of food: kimchi, sushi & noodles new marketing types: mass marketeers, rural marketeers and gourmet food critics new employees: French fries; movie stars and working the night shift hard choices materials to play with 6 players ketchup!
