Sid Sackson was a genius. Acquire's simple structure and depth of play would be anyone else's magnum opus. For him it's one of many.

The recent Avalon Hill edition is kind of crappy but it's still Acquire, and therefore better than most games. Just ignore the rules changes and you'll be all set.

Long, but worth it. The combat system in this edition is fantastic.

There's maybe a handful of good haunts. If your randomized story box doesn't tell good stories, why bother?

Nasty, brutish, and fairly short.

One of the best, and most unconventional, auction euros. Rare is the game that can inspire both brow-furrowing thought one minute and excited chanting of "Ra! Ra! Ra!" the next.
