Acquire 

Caption

The object of Acquire is to have made the greatest amount of money by the end of the game. This is done by creating hotel chains, buying, trading, and selling shares in these hotels, and by acquiring minority and majority holdings in these hotels. At the end of the game, the person with the most money is declared the winner.

The game board consists of a 12 by 10 grid numbered from 1 to 12 on the x-axis, and lettered from A to I on the y-axis. All the squares on the board have corresponding tiles which represent the hotels the player will use to create the hotel chains. Initially, all these tiles are removed from the board and scrambled, their values kept secret from the players.
