Acquire updates

A couple of updates regarding the Sid Sackson classic Acquire, which we covered in episode 6. (And here's a YouTube review excerpt.)

First, I'm happy to report that Hasbro is bringing it back into print, by way of its Avalon Hill imprint! It's due for a June 13 release in the US, where it will cost $30. I look forward to seeing what shape it will take.

In sadder news, gethostile.com, the online clone of Acquire that we mentioned in the show, seems to be offline for the time being. If you visit the site now, you get a message from its owner, Brian Nahas, saying that the traffic was just too much for his modest server to bear. He hopes to bring it back online sometime this year, and is open to offers of hosting assistance.
