The MEGAcquire 1963 World Map Conversion Kit allows a quantity of 120 stocks to
be shuffled and randomly dealt out to the players before the beginning of game
play. The amount of each company stock to be distributed is listed on the
information cards. The rest of the certificates are kept in the bank for
purchase during the game. Players can only buy two stock certificates per
turn. All stocks begin at the same price level.
This concept allows mystery during the entire game as to the holdings of all
players. It is harder to establish strategy for gaining majority when the
available amounts vary and the knowledge of other players' holdings are
unknown. The decision of choosing a company when opening is predicated on
the hand that is held from the original dealing of stock.
Since players are only allowed to purchase two stock certificates per turn,
their money supply will usually last longer. Most players never run out of
money throughout the entire game. The other benefit derived from the lower
amount of stock purchases is that the player's ability to make quicker decisions
for purchases is enhanced. Therefore, the rest of the players are not
waiting as long for other players to finish their turns.
Play your game of MEGAcquire in a manner that allows mystery. With the
MEGAcquire 1963 World Map Conversion Kit the future meets the past.
