In development · no date, no lies

Hostile Takeout

Build the chain. Buy the shares. Eat the competition.

A cutthroat restaurant-empire strategy game. Lay tiles to grow seven food chains, buy stock in the ones you think will survive, and cash out the second somebody swallows them whole. Nobody raises their voice. Everybody loses a friend.

Coming soon Steam page pending See screenshots

Why it's fun

Three claims we can actually back up

01

Seven chains, one grid

Bun Voyage, Nacho Average Taco, Franks for the Memories and four more. Place a tile next to a chain and it grows — place it between two and you just started a merger.

02

The money is in the paperwork

Share prices move with every tile. Buy in early, hold your nerve, and take the majority bonus when someone else's empire gets eaten.

03

Ruthless in twenty minutes

Fast turns, brutal math, and a stock market that punishes loyalty. Play three in the time it takes to argue about the first one.

Every chain has a tier, a price, and far too much backstory.

The trailer

An over-the-top promotional video for a game where the most violent thing that happens is a stock split. Neon skyline, ominous strings, men in suits pointing at things.

Plus a narrated playthrough: a real game against the AI, called move by move, by the guy who won it. He will explain the tactics. He will not be humble about it.

In production · coming soon

The studio

Dangerous Games makes games that are a little too honest about being games. Board games, card games, computer games — whichever format the idea deserves.

Three titles are in production right now, with Hostile Takeout out in front. We ship when it's good, we say so when it isn't, and we will never announce a date we can't hit.
