Everyone: I suppost both hidding your assets and having them open. On a tournament, in my opinion, hiding your assets because imagine how time consuming it...
Mike Gills raised some long standing hot topics about Acquire which have been the subject of much discussion for the 30+ years that I've been playing the game....

Cool, I love it when someone tries to prove me wrong. David, you want to play "rules and facts" with me? I'm more than up to the game.... First, you...
Mr. Acquire, what a great idea, I wish I lived in Chicago. Might have to steal your setup and try and use it here in NC..... I especially like the scoring...
... Cool. You sure bring a serious attitude to games like this, though. :-) ... Yes, I did say that. ... No need. You and I can both find a copy here: ...
Ok, I'd like to point out a problem here: pittguy1970 wrote: ... Yes, in two-player mode, you may know how many stocks the other human player has purchased....
You know, getting this angry over the game is not going to change either, A) The way your group plays it, which is to your preference, I assume. B) The way...
Well, I think we have all learned we are passionate about a particular game and how each of us might play it. Hopefully the input and tournament attitude will...

... This is what I said: "The 'actual RULES' don't require hiding or showing shares. The game can be played either way." You admitted I was right about that. I...
... Matt: Our 41/all-safe rule variant was in effect when I started playing in Chicago. I don't believe that it was written into the original game rules so I...
... Lol, I think I said a bit more than that. Now what? you have sunk to picking one part of my statement and quoting me out of context? That's pretty...
I see. I guess I always viewed giving the player the option on whether to end or not as having more strategy in the game. (David, we might actually agree on...
Will you two please take it to private e-mail? I'm not sure that either of you are accomplishing anything that the list was meant for. Please consider this...
Ummm. no. Thanks for asking though. He made his snide comments in the public forum and I responded publicly. By the way....did I occur to you to send that...
Seriously Matt, you don´t have anything else to do in your life other than writing stupid, irrelevant, 3 page mails in the acquire group. Man, you have got to...
Oh just give it up. I am very, very tempted to tell you yes I can describe one such strategy but I won't b/c it is a waste of time...but then I know there is...
LMAO. Ok first of all, the fact that have nothing else to do in your life but write me a message telling me I don't have anything else to do in my life is...

I'm curious if anyone has played the really REALLY old version of Acquire. The one where the hotel chains did NOT all have exactly 25 shares of stock but...
... It was a serious question. The example you gave required knowing that your opponent has a tile that could merge two chains. There are times when I think...
You can figure out when that have that important tile. Not always. But there are many times when you can figure out that they have something. Especially like...
You are right, its me David. Yes Im David, you must be one the great minds of our generation. Mathew, seriously read a book, listen to music or whatever...
