This is the newest edition of the game of ACQUIRE and it is actually very well made. After two extremely disappointing editions with Wizards of the Coast, Hasbro has teamed with a company in Southern California called Renegade, and they have come up with probably the best constructed edition of the game. For more information, read my review of the 2023 Renegade/Hasbro Edition of ACQUIRE.

Even though the construction of this game is very well done, the rules are still the same...cumbersome and restrictive. Therefore, included with this game are Lloyd's Rules of ACQUIRE.

If you want to play a game of ACQUIRE with only two players, I have developed rules that I call "Four Hand Volley." Check out Lloyd's Rules for Two-Player ACQUIRE for more information.

Lloyd's Rules of ACQUIRE

Lloyd's Rules of ACQUIRE were designed to help eliminate the one-sided games that can occur during game play and they make the game much more enjoyable.

ACQUIRE is a fantastic game, and a huge tribute to the intellect of Sid Sackson. Yet, after my first experience with the game, I felt that the rules needed some adjustments to increase the ability of the game to attract new players.

I wanted the game to have a broader appeal to more of my friends. The more friends I could get to enjoy the game, the more chances I had to play the game. I accomplished this by creating a way for players to stay involved in the game even if the didn't have any money. I also created a level playing field for obtaining stock while at the same time increasing the strategic maneuvering of stock purchasing.

Lloyd's Rules of ACQUIRE allows trading of stock when a player is out of money. The player can get rid of stocks that do not help the player and trade them for stocks that are more important within their portfolio. It allows these players to try and maintain majorities in the companies that are most important. It also allows the ability for players to invest on every turn, to potentially increase their portfolio, without the fear of being "stuck" with those purchases when they are ultimately out of money.

Lloyd's Rules of ACQUIRE eliminates the 2- for-1 trade rule when companies merge. In the corporate world of hostile takeovers, is is very seldom that the conquering company offers the shareholders of the vanquished company a cut-rate bargain for the stocks of the conquering company.

The 2-for-1 trade creates the possibility for a person who holds majority in a conquering company to lose that majority to numerous shareholders because they decided to sacrifice their small company. It decreases the strategy level of obtaining majorities and skews the game into more of a factor of luck. In Lloyd's Rules of ACQUIRE, the players of the vanquished company are given payouts for their companies, and their shares, and they can invest wherever they choose when it is their turn.

Lloyd's Rules of ACQUIRE are printed into a convenient 10-page booklet that is printed on yellow card stock for long lasting durability and fits neatly into the original versions of this timeless classic. This booklet can be used to replace old, worn, or lost rules as they conveniently have the original rules of ACQUIRE fully printed with Lloyd's changes to the rules printed in red.

This 10-page booklet also includes a Stock Price Extension chart. This chart helps to determine the payouts after a merger or at the end of the game. It eliminates the need for a calculator or a math professor.

Lloyd's Rules of ACQUIRE can be used in all editions of ACQUIRE from 1962-2008, including the International versions of ACQUIRE. They are compatible with the Special Power Variants, the Wild Tiles, and the 1963 World Map Conversion Kit. They can also be used with the 2023 edition of ACQUIRE.
