	Acquire
		Acquire is a game of hotel investment and development.
		Acquire was the first of the "business simulation" games released as part of the 3M bookshelf series and is probably the best known.
		As a business simulation it is quite abstract but as a game it works very well, with the players having to carefully decide how to manage their stocks and investments and how to play their tiles so as to maximize the worth of their holdings.

	Windopaene's World - Game Reviews - Acquire
		In Acquire you are building hotel chains, buying stock in the companies that run them, and trying to merge chains to increase the value of your holdings.
		Acquire consists of a 9 x 12 square board, and each square has a corresponding tile, marked with the grid coordinates of the board square.
		This is an endless argument about whether it is better to play Acquire with each player's shares being open, and available for others to count, or closed, where each player's shares are hidden, and only those with card-counting skills will know what everyone has.

	Acquire
		ACQUIRE is also a game that has inspired a great deal of controversy over an issue that's not terribly clear in the rules.
		I should probably call this critique of the new Hasbro Avalon Hill ACQUIRE "Quibbles and Bits," since I do have quite a few quibbles with it, and the main difference is in the "bits" (which is what the Brits call their game pieces).
		There have been a number of attempts at computer versions of ACQUIRE, and the best of them for the PC is available here for a free download, thanks to the generosity and programming skill of George Crawshay of the UK.

	Acquire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Acquire is one of the classic games, which makes it all the more regrettable that in the 3M and Avalon Hill editions the designer isn't even mentioned.
		So it was good that when Schmidt Spiele decided to launch a series of games in which the designer got top billing, Acquire was one of the first releases.
		In this edition, which is presumably targeted at the collectors' market, they have also decided to try to do something to improve the game's appearance: in the American versions the board and pieces, though well made and very functional, are undeniably plain, so this time the Art Department has been let loose.

	Sun must acquire Red Hat or Novell - analyst \| The Register
		Without such a buy, Sun will never be taken seriously in the Linux server market, and with Red Hat or Novell on its side, Sun could really take the Opteron server market by storm, they argue.

		What the analyst firm presents as "just another deal" would be seen as a nuclear act by much of the rest of the IT industry, which relies on the neutrality of Red Hat and Novell.
