Talked to Lorne today about maybe scheduling a game session where newbies or people that just want to hone their skills can come and sit in on a game and...

Hi all, Mike here from Wizards of the Coast. If you weren't aware, Hasbro has given Avalon Hill over to us to run. I work in Organized Play and am in charge...
Dear Mike, 1) In off line games that our group has played for more the 25 years in the Seattle area there is no viewing of money or stocks held. Each player...
... There are so many little variations that it would be hard to count them all. I like the game much more when I don't know exactly who holds which shares,...
... The 11 tile rule is from the original rules set, it is not a new or novel rule, and it is essential for the game, and is a part of the end of game...
Mike, I have only been playing Acquire for 5 years so I don't have the experience that some of the other responsders gave (unless you consider having played...

Hi Mike, Glad to hear that Wizards is taking an active interest in the game. Personally I'm a big fan of playing the game open - I find that it keeps you...
Mike, being quite an experienced player of the original 3M game, I'd like to have the original rules implemented in the tournament, i.e 11 tile rule, merger...
4 players is optimum...property in plain sight (just like somone could do in a real situation to find out who owns land). Played for about 25 years...that's...
As long as it´s possible, 4 player games are better. I have played for 15 years, and enjoy the game much more when memory is also a factor, so hiding your...
Mike, 1) Playing "pants down" where everything is revealed, if asked, is definetly advantageous though time consuming. Playing "pants up" definetly requires...
Mike I definitely think 3 players is best. Also, no question about it, playing with the shares of stock up and visible is the best method. If you play...
So for those of you who play with shares visible, how do you actually figure out who has what? Does each player have an obligation to report the exact number...
Another point on the hidden or visible thing: I use the fact that my shares are hidden strategically. I know, for example, that it is easy for the players I...
... We play with the shares spread out. All the shares of one company are stacked, with a bit of offset so they can be counted easily. By convention, if a...
Mike, I think it's clear that you're going to have significant numbers supporting both face up and face down on stocks and money, some quite adamantly. It...
... I agree. For me, playing Acquire has some similarities to playing poker. I can bluff or deceive my opponents. I can lead them on, and then surprise them...
David...I have played for years. The best fun and intrigue of playing the game seems to come when the properties are visible (even tho they can be neatly...
