As usual, Dave does a great job of explaining the rules.

@keithparker1346 10 ай бұрын

I disagree. This was very messy as he kept referring to differences between this version and the old version. They should have assumed that very few people would not know the old version and just do these new rules with no continued interruptions of a comparison with the old rules. It's one of the few times I've lost track of the rules. Normally rules explanations are great but not this time. Oh well

I love when I see a new game at my local store, know absolutely nothing about it, and then shortly after it’s covered on this channel.

Love the Seattle Pinball Museum shirt Lincoln! Living really close to Seattle, I've been there a few times, and love it every time, especially when they have a brand new machine to try :)

I owned Acquire and eventually sold it. Big Boss looks so fun to me - different enough from Acquire I think? On the Wish List it goes!

@mjnickoloff 9 ай бұрын

IMHO, much different, and I prefer BigBoss.

@derwoodbowen5954 10 ай бұрын

I had never seen this before. I bought the original Acquire and have played it a lot. The thing about both is that what happened to Niki in this game could happen to you in Acquire. I like Acquire a lot and would probably enjoy this also. Not sure you need both.

@mjnickoloff 9 ай бұрын

That is correct: one of the minor flaws in early Eurogames. Contrast that to how FoR handles similar boxed-in issues.

The radio towers. They give you 3 shares, but do they benefit the stock price or the payout during a merger? Do I just take 3 shares when I place the tower?

@boardgamegeek 9 ай бұрын

The radio towers are 3 shares you add to a corporation beyond the stock cards in the game. It gives a player the opportunity to move ahead on a corporation but sometimes at a cost above the stock price. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln

@outoppie1023 10 ай бұрын

Great play through. I just find it annoying when a player throws components across the board instead of handing it over to the person handling them.

@TheJester1960 7 ай бұрын

I love this game! but the one part I felt was Broken After a corporation reaches 50 million Everyone keeps adding to it for another 50 million,50 million,50 million,50 million My house rule: if a corporation reaches 50 mil. that company is protected and can no longer be added to properties at each end are "X" properties (parking garages?) getting the owner 10 mil at the beginning of each turn Protected properties also pay 5 mil in dividends per share at the start of your turn(encourages owning stocks) Also a merged company can be brought back, if there is Room for it (Nikki , would have been able to play all those 60's that she held) that would help speed the game using 5 building pieces to start another company The people in my play group like these house rules, so we use them every time

Can you play a radio tower on a 6 high, making a maximum of 9 high?

@boardgamegeek 10 ай бұрын

The tower is just three extra stocks in a company. It does not add to the size of the company. Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln

@grog3514 8 ай бұрын

We played last night and the winner went all in on one company. We couldn't stop him from buying levels and boosting his stocks. We were also buying level cards but they wouldn't pay out enough to keep up with him and no one wanted to help boost his stocks any more. It's this an issue with the game or did we play poorly somehow?

@housecaldwell 8 ай бұрын

I was wondering if that was a good strategy while I watched this. I'll know soon - my copy arrives tomorrow.

For pure bang for the buck I would say Big Boss is my favorite. Foundations of my Rome is great but very expensive. -Lincoln

FoR is fun but it's the "easiest" of the three. Then BigBoss, then Acquire.

Just to share a curiosity: In German, Million means billion in English. A million is a Milliarde in German.

@klausolekristiansen2960 10 ай бұрын

No. Million is million in both languages. A milliard is what Americans call a billion. A real billion is called trillion in American. Unfortunately the British are moving to the American words.
