Acquire

In Business, Size Matters

As a powerful real estate tycoon, there are only seven hotel chains in the world worthy of your attention. Using nothing but your wealth and wits, you must vie against other business magnates to manipulate construction and capitalize on mergers - buying, trading, and selling stocks in order to get the greatest return on your investments. Acquire challenges you to pit your resources and resolve against other players in this high-finance game of speculation and strategy!

This game has been around for a little while and is recently re-released. While it may seem similar to a certain business-themed classic, it's much faster and simpler to play, making it a lot more fun. Players have a pool of six tiles (that are refreshed at random after each turn) which they can use to build, claim, grow and merge hotel chains. Buy stock in your own or others' chains and when they merge, cash out and retire early. Whoever has the greatest net worth at the end of this 30-45 minute game, wins!
