Let’s Play Acquire! @ The Missing Piece
Details
In Acquire, each player strategically invests in businesses, trying to retain a majority of stock. As the businesses grow with tile placements, they also start merging, giving the majority stockholders of the acquired business sizable bonuses, which can then be used to reinvest into other chains. All of the investors in the acquired company can then cash in their stocks for current value or trade them 2-for-1 for shares of the newer, larger business. The game is a race to acquire the greatest wealth!
Acquire is a medium-light complexity financial/economic and tile-placement game with elements of hand management and area control.
New players are welcome, and the host is happy to teach if you haven't played before.
2 - 6 players
90 - 120 minutes expected play time, depending on turnout and player familiarity.

We'll go over the rules at the start as well.
A few important details:
- Please be on time!
- Street parking in residential areas around The Missing Piece is free, but you will probably have to park about 5 minutes away. Allow time to find parking and walk to the store.
- If you need to cancel, do so as soon as you know. People on the waitlist and playing that day will appreciate it! Signing up for this event means other people are counting on you to attend; board games have both a minimum and a maximum player count, so with limited seats available, I want to be sure that those seats actually have people in them. Last-minute cancellations (less than 24 hours), no-shows, and late arrivals (15+ minutes) without good reason will be marked as no-show for the event.
- Support The Missing Piece - Purchasing something isn't a requirement, but it's nice to do since we're using the space.
