As the sunsets on Taipei’s City, the exotic smells of food begin to waft through the streets. Eager and hungry customers follow these smells to their source and find a treasure trove of stalls offering all types of delectable options. Welcome to Night Market!
In Night Market, you are a business owner trying to construct stalls to sell food to customers with distinctive tastes. These customers will move through your night market, looking for their cravings to be fulfilled. To capitalize, you must acquire different foods from the city and strategically place them in your night market to accommodate your customers. Furthermore, your customers are also seeking and are willing to pay more for specialty dishes. The challenge is you only have so much time to shop for ingredients and prepare for the market’s opening. Customers that are satiated will become loyal customers and come back for another visit; disappointed customers will leave.
Night Market forges spatial worker placement mechanism with challenging resource management to maintain customer loyalty resulting in sales. At the end of the game, the player who has earned the most reputation through sales and popularity will be regarded as the “Best Night Market.”
