Description

Chip Shop Is a game about the computer boom of the 1980s. Players take on the role of the head of a fledgling computer company vying to capture a slice of the new market. You have a decade to make your mark, will it be for longevity, loyalty, units shifted or a balance between them all?

The game consists of ten rounds, with worker placement from money made from products and events. Players may win by scoring on any one of three score tracks, or a combination of the above.

Chip Shop begins in the American 1980s, but expansions are planned to allow for game play in different eras, regions and markets.

Aside from official expansions or 'updates', the tools and processes used to create the game have been open-sourced, allowing the community to create its own additions, or 'patches'.
