For sale is a very rare 2005 Acquisition board game produced by Trojan International Limited. This board game is quite hard to find, there isn't a single instance of it ever selling on eBay (according to Worthpoint.com archives). Due to the general poor reception of this game, this would be the only game ever produced by this company. There are a few forums out there of people discussing this game, it doesn't seem many copies made it to the US. Seems the general distribution of this game was the UK and New Zealand. Due to the rarity of this game, would make a great addition to a collection of obscure board games!
Here's a brief description of the game taken from the words of the designers:
Is a board game for up to 6 players, and is recommended for ages 18 years and over. The game is unique and delivers a combination of social interaction; forward thinking, challenges, strategy and most importantly fun!
GAME OBJECTIVE
The object of the game is a race to acquire three (3) of the five (5) Gold Status Symbols to determine who will become "The Ultimate Status Champion".
The decision as to which Gold Status Symbols you acquire depends on your strategy to try and win the game against the other players, although it is compulsory for every player to acquire the "House" as one (1) of the three (3) Gold Status Symbol Cards required to win the game. Each player starts the game with a mortgage (debt) that must be cleared before the game can be won. That is why the "House" is a compulsory acquisition.
Each player must collect sufficient credits to enable the purchase of silver status symbol cards as shown on the game board, to increase their wealth and status.
Each Gold Status Symbol card has four (4) silver status symbol cards that must be purchased before the Gold Status Symbol Card can be issued.
All Silver and Gold Status Symbol cards are color coded for easy playing reference (Red, Green, Purple, Blue, White).
The game appears to be complete, but I did not take the time to count each individual card. Please keep in mind I can't guarantee this game is 100% complete.

This means there is a chance the box can arrive with dings that are not present in the pictures, based on how violent the postal service is with the package.

For a small additional shipping charge, I can ship the item inside a larger box.
