Description

In Acquire, players strategically invest in businesses, trying to retain a majority of stock as the companies grow with tile placements. As businesses merge, majority stockholders receive sizable bonuses, which can be used to reinvest in other chains. The game is a race to acquire the greatest wealth, with all investors in acquired companies able to cash in their stocks or trade them for shares in the newer, larger business. This classic game, designed by Sid Sackson, has been a favorite among gamers since its release in 1964. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of 90 minutes, Acquire is suitable for 2 to 6 players. The game's simple yet engaging mechanics, including hand management, investment, and tile placement, make it a fun and challenging experience for players of all skill levels.
