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.
History of Acquire: This Sid Sackson classic has taken many different forms over the years depending on the publisher, yet the rules and game play have stayed the same. The 1966 version of the 3M bookshelf edition included rules for a 2-player variant. The original version is part of the 3M Bookshelf Series.
Many books and websites incorrectly list this as a 1962 publication as the 3M Company used previously copyrighted artwork when they released the game in 1964. 3M actually received the idea for the game of "Vacations" from Sid Sackson in May of 1963 and decided to take his idea and put it into artwork they had developed the year before for a game called "ACQUIRE." 3M's original game idea for a game called ACQUIRE must not have been very good so they decided to take Sid's idea of Vacations and put it into their concept of ACQUIRE. They released some limited test market games in 8 Midwestern U.S. cities in December of 1963 with a box that had a 1963 copyright. These games had Sid's original rules. When 3M released the mass market games in 1964, they had taken liberties with some of Sid's original ideas and changed some rules and game play to match their production desires. They released them with outer boxes that were copyrighted 1962 and inner boxes with rules that were dated 1963.

A classic game. Essentially scrabble for businessmen.

@Legendary Tactics ...at the 1:51 mark you stated that the player who is closest to 1A in numerical order goes first. Although this is correct according to the rules...what you demonstrated with the red arrow pointing to 1E...is actually incorrect. In the example you have on the game board (at the moment the red arrow showed up) 9C would actually be the first player! That's because they would be ranked 9C then 7D then 1E.
The reason is explained in the rules but basically it states that you need to look at each row as a continuation of the previous row. For example 12A and 1B are next to each other. So six spots in a row AFTER 9A would be...
10A 11A 12A 1B 2B 3B
Therefore 7B would be closer to 1A than 1C would be.
