"A game of saavy planning and corporate conquest"

Years ago, one of old young men's leaders Brother Beckstead introduced my friends and I to the greatest board game ever, Acquire. After some pretty intense games, I bought my own copy on ebay and was surprised when it arrived and some of the peices hadn't even been opened even though the game was manufactured in the 50's. Score. I told a bunch of people about my new purchase and we battled it out regularly. My memory is fuzzy but I'm pretty sure I went undefeated. :)

I used it for a while, but someone (I'm convinced) stole it. It's possible it was just misplaced, but the stealing story sounds way more hardcore so I'll stick with that. Either way, I completely forgot about the game until recently. After remembering about it and how much fun it was, I went out and bought another copy...

And it's still the greatest board game ever made! It's a little like Monopoly but doesn't take as long. The newer version I have now is a lot cheaper (in price and quality), but the gameplay is still great. If you ever get a chance to play, try it out!
