Founding The Takeover Game® Company - Exclusive Board Games & Card Games

The Takeover Game Company invent and distribute exclusive games throughout the UK. Stacey Darlington, with her business partner, founded the board & card game start-up in the Prince of Wales Pub, Embankment, London 2014.

This venture all started one 2014 October evening when four friends were invited to a dinner party. They were completely unaware they were about to be cajoled into becoming the first ever players of a new family board game. With a handmade game, from sugar paper, the night confirmed two crucial facts; the game was highly addictive and fun to play! Outcome – Success! Five months and over one hundred road tests later two Londoners finally brought The Takeover Game to life in their spare time launching 2nd November 2016 in the City of London. Their portfolio of unique games has now grown to include the best selling The Fake News Card Game.

Games are available to buy from the SD•Studios shop today!

The Takeover Board Game®

The object of the game is to earn as much money as possible and eliminate other players through hostile takeovers. Earning money is easy; build an investment portfolio by purchasing assets from Tokyo, Hong Kong, London and New York, then sell the portfolio back to the stock exchange for a huge commission. But be careful, holding assets can be risky. Accumulating too much debt, market movements and trading between players can quickly turn predators into prey. But that’s business.

  • ONE OF THE BEST NEW BOARD GAMES

    "Experience a modicum of the high finance world with a game that is so far removed from anything previous, you know, property based – This is entirely more cut-throat. The aim is to get rich, richer than all other players, eliminate them, have no shame, try to remember post-play to leave your new fond inner Gordon Gekko at the table. So it's all about buying assets and selling them on at profits, that is the simple part, they’ve built various elements into this play making it risky to hold onto assets for too long – Liquidate, speculate, keep your nerve and bag the biggest riches." The Telegraph

  • BEST FOR NUMBERS ADDICTS!
