1968 3M edition with plastic tiles.
This copy has been re-shrinkwrapped by a prior owner. The box face has been signed by designer Sid Sackson. Due to the shrinkwrapping, I cannot verify if the game is complete.
Will fit in a USPS Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box.
Minimum Bid: $100
Buy It Now: $150

Mostly because it's a great game, but also because I have the cool, late-1990s super edition. Six players, 90-120 minutes.

An old design, but many people are still discovering this one. Still as popular as ever before.

3M edition from 1963 (copyright with the instructions in the inside cover). Complete and shiny. Plastic tiles, no letters on the hotel markers. The stock cards look and feel as though they've never been used.
One dollar at the flea.

Finally tracked this one down (1962 3M slip box version). Got it for $3.93 at Valu Thrift in St. Paul, MN. I was wondering when I would run across this one, since this store is so close to 3M. Still need to inventory, but looks promising.

This is the newest Hasbro edition (pictured). some of the tile "holder" things are pretty screwed up but we always just held the tiles in our hands (stupid crappy cardboard tile holder). Everything else in good condition.

Shocked this didn't get mentioned yet.
I have a personal interest in "emergent" games where something really nice happens after gameplay seemingly in spite of the non-directed open ended nature of the rules. And I can think of no better example than this game. T&E has it too, but its rules as noted are nowhere as simple as this one. Complexity is definitely Low, and I suspect depth is closer to high than medium.

One of my favorite, all-time games. I've had about 8-10 different copies go through my hands as I've upgraded sets through the years. I currently own a 3M edition with wood pieces, and a 3M edition with plastic pieces that's been signed by Sid Sackson himself.
I've been playing and enjoying Acquire for about 20 years. And I've yet to win my first game.

This would be my most recent eye opener. I never had a chance to play Acquire until recently when a new gaming friend of mine brought it up a few times and I finally acquiesced. So glad I did, what a great game! I now am the owner of a good condition 1963 copy of the game via eBay. Best part: My wife loves it too!

I picked this up when the Wizards of the Coast retail stores were closing. I'd never heard of it but all of their boardgames were super cheap so my roommate and I grabbed a couple. I got the 1999 Acquire and he got...Stratego Legends.

While I know this is probably the least desirable of all the Acquire game sets, it was hard to pass up for $2.99 in mint condition, with many of the pieces unpunched at Goodwill.

I have been hoping to come across this one eventually.
Version pictured (3M), all bits accounted for. I like these 'original' versions of games.
$3.99 at GW.

Paid too much, but I only buy for my own collection and I've wanted one.
$5.99
Avalon Hill Game Co.
and then it was missing 3 tiles.
I'll check the parts list.
EDIT: you guys are great! The missing tiles are being replaced by two seperate BGGers. I'm looking forward to playing it.

Games with dragons, spaceships, and bears aren’t wargames. Call them conquest games or strategy games or crap but they aren’t wargames.

I really like this one. To bad I don't know what I'm doing while I'm playing. Doesn't get to the table enough.
