About the game

What is Franchise?

In Franchise, players are entrepreneurs, bringing to life the American Dream in the U.S.A. during the 1960s. Starting with a small, newly founded business (such as car rental, a diner, or a coffee shop), they expand into other towns and cities. By adding branches to their businesses, they increase their income and influence. The player with the greatest influence across the game's regions wins!
