M&A Warring States Period

This game is designed to make it very easy to learn about mergers and acquisitions (M&A), which are essential for starting and growing a business, while buying and selling companies. Since it is a new type of board game that combines learning and entertainment, it can be enjoyed by anyone from students to business people, regardless of whether they have knowledge of M&A(*) or not. Let's explore the world of M&A with your family, friends, colleagues, and business associates! You will surely acquire knowledge that will be useful for the future.

*M&A (M&A) refers to "buying a company" or "a company merging". To put this a little more simply, it means, for example, that a large company buys a small company and makes it one of its own, or that two companies join forces to become one company.

■Understand the process and points to note for "sellers" and "buyers" through simulated M&A experience

In M&A training that focuses on theory, there is a tendency to think, "Even if I understand the theory, I cannot master the risk management and processes required in practice. "Even if you understand the theory, you cannot learn the risk management and processes required in practice. These were some of the issues that the participants faced. Ltd., the No. 1 M&A and business succession support service provider in Japan in terms of number of contracts concluded, the "M&A Sengoku Jidai" enables participants to not only learn M&A as a theory, but also to understand the M&A flow and decision-making process while experiencing both the buyer and seller's viewpoints in real life. The course is also useful in practical matters such as risk management and negotiation strategies. The course is structured in such a way that students can learn practical skills such as risk management and negotiation strategies in a fun and natural way. Through the game, students will face situations where strategic negotiations and decision-making are necessary, and develop the skills required in the M&A field.

A board game that makes learning M&A easy

■Experience realistic M&A negotiations and decision-making processes

M&A Sengoku Jidai contains four types of cards: Seller Cards, Buyer Cards, Incident Cards, and Corporate Investigation Cards, which describe critical issues and events that companies face throughout a merger or acquisition. Just as in real M&A, they include financial and technical issues that will have a significant impact on subsequent profits.

■Future Developments

We plan to build tailor-made training programs tailored to each company's unique M&A issues and objectives, utilizing the board game [M&A Sengoku Jidai], which allows participants to experience corporate growth through M&A. We will continue our efforts to generalize M&A and revitalize the Japanese economy.

■Developer's Comment

Kenji Watanabe, Representative Director, 3R Management Co.

The "No. 1 Bakery" board game, which was developed in 2022, achieved 404% of its crowdfunding goal. This time, we developed a board game to develop practical skills while learning about business succession and M&A. Japan is currently facing a shortage of successors, and business succession has been raised as a social issue. Due to the lack of successors, more and more companies are going out of business every year, even if they are profitable. We hope that many people will experience the game and contribute to the generalization of M&A and the revitalization of the Japanese economy.
