 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: I don't know, my grandparents had a closet full of board games.
 gnomebot1: been playing it for 50 years.  played it at a convention 3 weeks ago.
 ArtDecoSunburn: No, it was very popular in the 60s. 3M sold as bookshelf. editions.
 ErynTzun: I hate Monopoly, does not matter how it's themed. Anything is better than that, but that was the point wasn't it? Monopolies are bad.
BalthusHomewood: Hats off to y'all
cybercobra5: supported in Silver Dollars
jwholla: every game should have hats
 ArtDecoSunburn: And thanks for playing older games like this.
   LoadingReadyRun: do we also frontgammon?
 kusinohki: acquire isn't a "kids' game" so it didn't get the mass market treatment  (I have opionions)
BalthusHomewood: @LoadingReadyRun Also sidegammon
 Dog_of_Myth: YES
 ErynTzun: @LoadingReadyRun I only Sidegammon
 Dog_of_Myth: !store
  LRRbot: The LRR store's Vault has cycled! Relive cherished Lava Bears memories, or put Spoopifer on your body to ward off Adams (or, if you would prefer to attract Adams, nab the new Ringside tee)! Check them out here: https://store.loadingreadyrun.com/ and maybe buy something?
GrathXVI: So, are you gonna be doing a new rendition that's Tam and Vraska kissing?
 neisan2112: Very fitting for Reality Fracture
cybercobra5: Most games don't have...this hat!
 ArtDecoSunburn: @LoadingReadyRun Acquire is Mammongammon.
 goombalax: Yargle
 e_bloc: RIP ace frehley, my coworker actually knew him pretty well
rogerivany: Isn't six in Motley Crue?
 drexciya808: 
 couchboyj: Emrakul?
 kusinohki: just remembered - saw a new version of acquire, forget the name, but it had hex tiles instead of square
 e_bloc: no
 Dog_of_Myth: 
 Mr_Bitterness: 
  Sarah_Serinde: 
 Sorator13: Ben, you definitely own property. Maybe not /land/, but...
 pleonasticTautology: LOL
 niccus: you're kind of a snake landlord
 ErynTzun: @rogerivany Nikki Sixx? lol
 PharaohBender27: Define "property"
 underhill33: 
 Dog_of_Myth: !clip
  LRRbot: If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Named clips with no autocaptions are preferred but not required!)
 drexciya808: property ownership is a scam you ain't missing anything
 PharaohBender27: Because personal belongings can be considered "property"
 Nigouki: what in the hex editor is this
cybercobra5: Beej will be the last, when the revolution comes
 ArtDecoSunburn: Does the new version of Acquire keep players' stock ownership public or private? The original could do either.
   LoadingReadyRun: @ArtDecoSunburn same
 ArtDecoSunburn: Cool.
 kusinohki: I thought more tiles started on the board??
bloodstar subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 60 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, bloodstar! (Today's storm count: 31)
jwholla: oh this is just monopoly. got it
 drexciya808: @Nigouki 
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/SuperYummyCoyoteBleedPurple-BL_S8pURnXRfbzhN
 Pteraspidomorphi: It's a little like Tigris & Euphrates but unfortunately you can't decapitate the other hotel's CEO
cybercobra5: Oh, the tiles are coordinates. Wasn't clear from wiki
 ArtDecoSunburn: @Pteraspidomorphi You haven't seen Conrad Hilton at work.
   LoadingReadyRun: @kusinohki I believe it is 1 per player
 Diabore: is this less fun monopoly?
 ErynTzun: Which hotel has the salmon? #ff9999
 drexciya808: @Diabore hahaha
 ErynTzun: STONKS
cybercobra5: so this isn't Oneupmanship-oid
Alex_Frostfire: It's a business investment.
 ArtDecoSunburn: Ben can have a proxy fight with himself!
 ErynTzun: burlap sack of riches
 JessieImproved: Who has played the Stock Market Game?
 Sorator13: I do wish I could acquire property by drawing a tile from a money bag
 drexciya808: seems legit
 ArtDecoSunburn: @Sorator13 I'm sure some rich family passes on generational wealth that way.
cybercobra5: @Sorator13 not yet time for the Nsburg quarterly Property Lottery
   LoadingReadyRun: btw, we're going to play with money + stocks visible to the players (at least for the this game)
 ErynTzun: Okay my child, here is your inheritance
 ErynTzun dumps house from sack
 quasi79fu: oh gahd this looks confusing....im gonna lurk and vibe..hai chat n hugs..Hope Lrr enjoys this
 Diabore: very popular game on omicron persei 8
 kusinohki: only green stock is compared
 drexciya808: ben explains well 
 kusinohki: they got there
 Diabore: j'accuse?
 e_bloc: keep in mind you will have to pay capital gains taxes
 kusinohki: looks like this version pays out for 3rd place.  originally it only paid first and 2nd most stock  (iirc)
 Sorator13: @e_bloc I spend a regrettable amount of time thinking about capital gains taxes
 ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc At 1964 rates, higher than now.
 e_bloc: I spend much less time thinking about taxes than most people assume
 e_bloc: yeah if only we still taxed capital gains like it was 1964
  LRRbot: If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Named clips with no autocaptions are preferred but not required!)
 ArtDecoSunburn: @Sorator13 Maybe you could spruce up your spreadsheets with colorful plastic building caps, like in this game.
 kusinohki: dang, 3 hotel chains started in 3 turns.  lucky!!
 kusinohki: iirc, each company has 25 stock total.  when they're out, they're out
   LoadingReadyRun:  I like the idea that you could just keep stock in a company that disappears and if another company is founded with the same name, you automatically get to transfer it to the new company
 drexciya808: 
 ArtDecoSunburn: @LoadingReadyRun "Merger specialists hate this one trick!" -- 1964 Buzzfeed
 Heckhoundbolt: that would be very fun
 e_bloc: @LoadingReadyRun that just makes me want someone who came up with 'apple inc' in 18-diggity-2 coming for all that iphone money
 drexciya808: @ArtDecoSunburn 
 Nigouki: it is halloween season at VV already, so could get some spooky stuff too
 ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Apple Records (the Beatles) did go after Jobs and Company at first.
 SnackPak_: oof
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: There is a market that sells James Bonds?
 Heckhoundbolt: 1964 exciting or 2026 exciting
 jamesk902: The one thing you never want the bond market to be is "exciting"
 kusinohki: first time I played this, we had open stock, but a house rule of "no counting". so we had an idea how much everyone had, but not exactsies...
 drexciya808: I want one or more of these hats.
 ArtDecoSunburn: @Heckhoundbolt Split the difference? 1995 exciting?
 Mr_Bitterness: The Continental
 Heckhoundbolt: @ArtDecoSunburn I mean, I think that is a very different situation for bonds either way
 ArtDecoSunburn: @Mr_Bitterness (Christopher Walken glares seductively at camera)
 kumatsu: and it's a different noise than your computer usually makes
 drexciya808: too many notifications—switched back to casio lol
   LoadingReadyRun:  How's the music volume?
 drexciya808: 👍
 drexciya808: sounds good
 kusinohki: I missed it, hotel chains are "safe" at 11 tiles??
n3ther: 
 ArtDecoSunburn: @Heckhoundbolt Very true. I was just delivering an academic paper on 1960s conglomerates on Monday. More properly, all of these hotels should be divisions of a larger defense contractor that also makes bicycles, frozen foods, motion pictures, and submarines.
 pleonasticTautology: @LoadingReadyRun deece
 drexciya808: q
 quasi79fu: how is chat today?
 drexciya808: @Heckhoundbolt sup Thomas Pynchon
 ErynTzun: I like Good Lock for Samsung phones, there's something from it called Notistar that I can add as a widget and even if I accidentally dismiss something on phone or watch all the notifications can be looked back through on it so I never lose anything or wonder what it was.
 ArtDecoSunburn: @drexciya808 Gravity's Stock Proxy. Buy Thurn and Taxis!
 quasi79fu: yay math?
 kusinohki: looks like it's going to be a while before we get a merger...
TheMinionGM subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 35 months!

 drexciya808: @ArtDecoSunburn 
WriterRaven flops into chat
 ArtDecoSunburn: @ErynTzun Samsung . . . speaking of conglomerates.
 quasi79fu: hai writerraven
  r10pez10: are mergers good
 Heckhoundbolt: you may need to sell your stocks
 kusinohki: stocks are never sold except at the end of the game
 Sorator13: @kusinohki or in a merger, I believe?
 drexciya808: unreasonably entertaining
 Diabore: and bens 34
 kusinohki: mergers are great for whoever has the most stock (and pretty good for 2nd most stock)
 ArtDecoSunburn: Sid Sackson really did capture the merger mania of the 1960s. You guys might as well be Litton Industries, or Gulf+Western, or ITT , just buying everything.
 kusinohki: or in a merger, yes, apologies
  r10pez10: i learnt a lot while in stocks. mainly that it really hurts when you get hit by a tomato
 Heckhoundbolt: lot of stock in worldwide
 Heckhoundbolt: the market is very optimistic about worldwide
 drexciya808: 
 e_bloc: I will just assume that is worldwide prestige
 ArtDecoSunburn: @Heckhoundbolt I hear they're hosting Goldwater and the 1964 party convention in Miami.
 Dog_of_Myth: Ben "Moneybags" Ulmer
 kusinohki: Ben "it's good to be the banker" Ulmer
 RatherLargeToad: Hernia
 e_bloc: if its about capitalism, cheating is probably encouraged
 drexciya808: hahaha
WriterRaven: @kusinohki The benker, if you will.
 quasi79fu: is Four H still a thing? isnt it a group?
 quasi79fu: whats the farmer thing students can join?
 e_bloc: that is in fact 4H
 goombalax: Triple H
 ArtDecoSunburn: @RatherLargeToad Let's not bring Hubert Humphrey into this. (His hernia was a major political topic of discussion in 1960.)
 quasi79fu: thank you e bloc
 Sorator13: 4H is very much still a thing, yeah
   Anubis169: i just jumped outta the shower
 e_bloc: and it is still a thing in rural america as far as I know
 quasi79fu: should i apologize for being weird?
   Anubis169: showers are amazing
   Anubis169: hihi chat 
  Juliamon: never apologize for being weird.
 Heckhoundbolt: it’s the 21st century
 quasi79fu: hai anubis
 ArtDecoSunburn: @Sorator13 Do they and FFA face off "West Side Story" ?
 e_bloc: @goombalax when you play H3 you are oblidged to say 'its time to play the game'
 Dog_of_Myth: @quasi79fu Nah, we're all weird here.
 quasi79fu: Hai n hugs Juliamon..you are always awesome
 A_Dub888: @Anubis169 you're amazing
 e_bloc: we really backed off the gold standard fast here
   Anubis169: no you!
 drexciya808: @ArtDecoSunburn realtalk
 Sorator13: !chat
  LRRbot: Always listen to chat, Never listen to chat.
KnightWarrior82: Paul never makes a mistake
 Nigouki: Canada got that good polymer monies
 MAPBoardgames: I played an OG copy of this game back in the 80s
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: @e_bloc Unless you are playing the Korean version, then you sing about Retro Future.
 drexciya808: Richard Stallman technique buy books in cash baby
 e_bloc: @AMillionCatsOnTypewriters 
 quasi79fu: can i invest in pennies?
 kusinohki: the coordinate grid has me thinking of bunny kingdom...
cybercobra5: I'd like to buy a vowel
 quasi79fu: lol
 ErynTzun: @MAPBoardgames An original 1964 version?
 MAPBoardgames: @ErynTzun aye!
 e_bloc: I'd like to buy a bowel
 quasi79fu: a chair?
 e_bloc: !card wheel of torture
  LRRbot: Wheel of Torture [3] | Artifact | At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, this artifact deals X damage to that player, where X is 3 minus the number of cards in their hand.
 drexciya808: been u bastard wp
 quasi79fu: oh he said share
 drexciya808: beej*
 kusinohki: I _think_ the original version had special action tiles mixed in with the normal coordinate tiles...
 quasi79fu: i was like what chair is three hundred dollars
 ErynTzun: @MAPBoardgames How much different is this, do you remember?
 Diabore: IAN
 ArtDecoSunburn: Too bad the shares don't pay dividends.
 Dog_of_Myth: IAN
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: IAN
 e_bloc: 
 ErynTzun: My name is purple, where are my fellow purples at?
 drexciya808: 
cybercobra5: Just like in the new Resident Evil movie!
 Sorator13: @quasi79fu a good office/desk chair costs well more than that, as does a nice armchair!
 quasi79fu: am i still green?
 MAPBoardgames: @ErynTzun From what I can tell, there is no difference.
 quasi79fu: oh wow sorator didnt know that
 kusinohki: I think every time I've played this we used poker chips...
 e_bloc: poker chips is very smart
 ErynTzun: @kusinohki classic stand in money
 quasi79fu: why does this board remind me of Jeopardy?
 ArtDecoSunburn: @Sorator13 It's 1964 on the board, so all the chairs here are midcentury modern.
 drexciya808: this game is getting spicy
 pleonasticTautology: salud
 e_bloc: also so satisfying to shuffle chips
 quasi79fu: salud
 Heckhoundbolt: juicy
 quasi79fu: twelve hundred wouldnt it be?
 quasi79fu: if its three shares at four hundred each?
 drexciya808: time to stress eat some chocolate
 e_bloc: 1+1+2+1
 Mr_Bitterness: @quasi79fu Continental is at 4 titles, so its 600 per stock
 quasi79fu: how many bulllets are left in the gun again
 Sorator13: @e_bloc pff
 kusinohki: 1+2+1+1
 ArtDecoSunburn: I would have pegged you as a Lisa fan, Ian.
 e_bloc: no it would be one plus two plus two plus one
 quasi79fu: i love chat
 quasi79fu: you guyrs are awesome

 Pteraspidomorphi: Speaking of roundup, is there an anime roundup this week?
 e_bloc:

 Mr_Bitterness: 900
 drexciya808: @e_bloc  
 kusinohki: does anyone have 6D ??
 trinsicdot: 
 ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc You're like the Henry Kravis of dating apps?
 Heckhoundbolt: juicy mergers
 quasi79fu: what flavor would a juicy merger be?
 kusinohki: if 2 companies of the same size merge, whoever placing the tile determines which "eats" the other
 e_bloc: thats good to know
 ErynTzun: I believe in life after love
 drexciya808: how does accounting become vore
 e_bloc: I think I'd like to invest in some continental sack, son
 quasi79fu: anyone else remember the LIquidator from Darkwing Duck
 ArtDecoSunburn: @quasi79fu Such a great show.
 quasi79fu: its supposed to be getting a reboot
 ErynTzun: oh the dog made of liquid
 quasi79fu: ye
 ArtDecoSunburn: @ErynTzun Life after merger? Love after merger?
  Juliamon: Liquidator was my fav villain
 drexciya808: let‘s get dangerous
 ArtDecoSunburn: @Juliamon I'd liked Negaduck, and Bushroot. And Moliarty.
 quasi79fu: my panic brain says to apologize for distracting chat from game stream ..sigh
 quasi79fu: they were all good villains
 Heckhoundbolt: if someone plays 6D, American becomes the biggest
 drexciya808: @ArtDecoSunburn deepcut duck
 ArtDecoSunburn: @drexciya808 "Let's get pedantic."
 quasi79fu: what happens if someone goes into negative score?
 Sorator13: @quasi79fu I assume that you can't
 kusinohki: huh.  I thought you could connect ortogonnally, it just wasn't a hotel intil one became available through merger...  (it's better to wait though)
 e_bloc: like the house-hoarding strat in monopoly
 ArtDecoSunburn: Under Brewster's Millions rules, Ben wins!
 e_bloc: achievement unlocked
 margieargie: I hear you need to spend money to make money, so if you spend all your money you'll make all the money, right?
 quasi79fu: BEn is the LIquidator
 ArtDecoSunburn: @margieargie Worked for Carl Icahn.
 drexciya808: prudent move
 drexciya808: ah fock
EbDorian: "remove its head... -quarter building"
 quasi79fu: nice ian
 Heckhoundbolt: no, 2000
 Sorator13: for a 2 on Tower, that's $2000, yeah
 kusinohki: 2000.  it tower at 2 tiles
 e_bloc: now we move to the audit phase
 ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Offshore/Swiss bank time.
 e_bloc: @ArtDecoSunburn oh if you've waited for the audit for that you are already cooked
 quasi79fu: embezzle teh money in a pyramid scheme?
 drexciya808: dont dump par value!
 ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Ha!
 e_bloc: you gotta Man City your finances
 MAPBoardgames: @quasi79fu That goes without saying, but there are options as well
 quasi79fu: lol
 margieargie: @ArtDecoSunburn Oh, we've made exactly zero profit this year so no taxes necessary, we swear
 ArtDecoSunburn: @margieargie In fact, the government owes us money. Depreciation.
 Sorator13: question: do they have to all-or-nothing the sale of merged stock? could Ben decide to sell 2 shares and keep the other 2?
 e_bloc: @ArtDecoSunburn oh yeah tax credits out the ass
 drexciya808: dont let your stylish hats get the best of you!
 kusinohki: I believe you can mix and match too.  trade 2 stock, sell 1 stock, keep the rest for example
 e_bloc: depreciation is probably one of the most misunderstood accounting concepts though
 drexciya808: 
 Sorator13: @e_bloc yeahhhh
 Sorator13: @e_bloc doesn't help that GAAP depreciation often differs from tax depreciation....
 drexciya808: this game is sick
 e_bloc: @Sorator13 often 
 margieargie: @ArtDecoSunburn Without subsidies there's no way we can keep the economy going, what with all the below-subsistence wages we're paying our employees
 Heckhoundbolt: so good
 e_bloc: I don't think I've ever worked somewhere where GAAP and MACRS was well-alligned
 kusinohki: now we're at diminishing returns.  american stock doesn't increase in value unless it gets 3 more tiles...
 ArtDecoSunburn: The contenental breakfast is much worse at the blue hotels, complain all the old yellow customers.
 e_bloc: look we made all this money but we had to pay advisory fees to our capital investment group so we're actually at negative income this year
 Sorator13: @e_bloc I was reserving the possibility that I was overlooking something 
 e_bloc: fair fair...I try to stay as far away from tax as possible
 ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Curse you, Lehman Brothers!
 Sorator13: and the opposite for me!
 Heckhoundbolt: thank you Ian
cybercobra5: Cursed knowledge, Ian
 Sorator13: Ian....
 quasi79fu: what?
 drexciya808: i need to know more
 e_bloc: Ian is a never-ending font of . . . . something
 ArtDecoSunburn: Most things make interesting noises when scraped by butter knives, I reckon.
 ErynTzun: 80s computers were loud enough they don't need help lol
 e_bloc: scrape an 1880 computer with a butter knife and she'll probably slap you
 Sorator13: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/DrabDoubtfulWallabyHassaanChop-ERXn_3UHq8-dcm4g
 ArtDecoSunburn: We're in 1964, here. Computers just learned to sing "Daisy."
 drexciya808: @ErynTzun computers now for that matter…
 ErynTzun: Old computer takes out 8 inch floppy disk and slaps you
 drexciya808: @Sorator13 
 margieargie: @ErynTzun Ah, back when floppy disks were actually, you know, floppy
 ErynTzun: @drexciya808 The only moving parts are the FANs, way quieter and controllable FAN curves.
 kusinohki: the longer the game goes without a 2nd merger benefits ian and hurts matt...
 ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc Well, she was probably a well-educated astronomical calculator, so I wouldn't blame her.
 drexciya808: value
 ErynTzun: I dunno why I typed fan that way.
cybercobra5: Delicious shareholder value!
 foopoiuyt: Beej, you can't buy Jesus
 e_bloc: buy low, sell sober
 Sorator13: @foopoiuyt sounds like something someone without enough money would say 
 kusinohki: never buy or sell or handle money at all while high...
 ArtDecoSunburn: @e_bloc So you're saying hold Seagram's?
 drexciya808: @e_bloc wiser words were never said
 ErynTzun: We learned about STONKS in school by pretend playing the real stock market, and I feel like they didn't really teach us anything on how to make good choices.
 foopoiuyt: @Sorator13 Oh, other people can -- just not beej, it's in Jesus's bylaws
 ArtDecoSunburn: @kusinohki (Whistles something a bout never counting your money at the table with Kenny Rodgers)
 ErynTzun: Adopt them
WriterRaven: If yo have thirteen orphans, take them to a mahjong game!
 e_bloc: get 13 orphans
 quasi79fu: LIl orphan ANnie
 kusinohki: HS history teacher had a stock game set in the 1920s.  stupid me didn't think to use historical knowledge on what to buy/sell and when...
 Sorator13: @foopoiuyt throw enough money at lawyers, and I bet that can be resolved somehow
 kusinohki: was a fun class though
 jamesk902: @ErynTzun Honestly, the best way to make money is to hold a broad portfolio over the long term. If you're trying to pick individual stocks, you already playing a losing game.
 drexciya808: man i only vaguely understand the economics of magic cards
 ErynTzun: Sing them It's A Hard Knock life, Beej.
 quasi79fu: dont you normally have two hands?
 ArtDecoSunburn: @jamesk902 Right, but a mutual fund board game would just be all players passing each turn.
 quasi79fu: badum tisss
 drexciya808: many regrets
 quasi79fu: ok that was bad joke
 e_bloc: somewhere Wheeler feels a chill go down his spine
 jamesk902: @ArtDecoSunburn Yes, not much fun.
 ErynTzun: @jamesk902 Most kids just picked companies they were familiar with since the teacher didn't tell us how to pick.
WriterRaven: If you're one tile away from a winning hand and none of your tiles are visible, that's 'riichi'. 'Ippatsu' is when you finish your hand on the next player's discard. =)
  Juliamon: The only thing I remember about learning about the stock market in school was a website where you fake-invested a set amount of fake-money per day on real stocks and nobody gave us *any* advice on what to invest in, fortunately it didn't affect our grade because none of us did well
WriterRaven: not me writing a mahjong guide for my fellow FFXIV players...
 e_bloc: some chicken 10-d's
Gadora: I really want to see 9F get played now.
 drexciya808: listening
 MAPBoardgames: I have boardgames tonight, I might dust off my copy of Acquire.
 quasi79fu: Hi c
 ErynTzun: @Juliamon so nothing changed from my time learning in the early 90s except it was a website instead of of an Economics book and the newspaper
 drexciya808: @MAPBoardgames same i must acquire it
 Heckhoundbolt: ah, so it is private
 ErynTzun: All I learned was Not To Play
 ArtDecoSunburn: Sackson is the Pacfic Northwest of chains here?
 kusinohki: this is an unusually low merger game it seems...
 KarolinaLinaLina: I'm 20 minutes late but thanks for the sub @Jontall ! 
 MAPBoardgames: Not your hotel anymore, Ben.
  Juliamon: ErynTzun Pretty much, yeah
 ErynTzun: It's like worse gambling for nerds
RvLeshrac: I prefer Dawn of Ulos to Acquire now, mainly because of the theming, but Acquire is a classic for a reason.
 margieargie: @ErynTzun Different from when I learned it in the 2000s, which was mostly videos from Arnold Schwarzenegger saying how any government regulation of the market in any way is Evil Communism
  Juliamon: 
 Dog_of_Myth: 
cybercobra5: screw MP3s, we're going back to Tower
 Heckhoundbolt: does Ian get a free stock for the new company?
 kusinohki: yeah, ian got a stock
 drexciya808: @ErynTzun wait a minute that is everything
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: He grabbed it
 ArtDecoSunburn: @margieargie Reagan did the same thing in the 1950s for NBC. He also became governor of California.
 Dog_of_Myth: It's all coming up Matt.
 Heckhoundbolt: Matt is gonna win
 ErynTzun: @margieargie Well the 80s and 90s was a lot of communism is evil what we're doing is the good thing even though most of poor kids never saw what was good about it, so that hasn't changed.
 drexciya808: stronk
 ErynTzun: Do not eat America
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Please flip 4c
 ErynTzun: it might contain dead bird
 margieargie: @ErynTzun I think that would cause some pretty severe food poisoning
 drexciya808: eat america yum
EbDorian: too big to fail, you say? 
 Heckhoundbolt: remember when people thought it was going to be consumed?
 ErynTzun: @margieargie gotta cut off that one part with the ppl who remove the regulations that keep our food safe
 ErynTzun: X_x
 kusinohki: usually play this with closed stock.  I basically pick 2 stocks to pay attention to.  my poor memory can't handle more than that...
 drexciya808: book it to the rim! ballin!
 e_bloc: oooh big merger
 kusinohki: "now the game truly begins"
 Heckhoundbolt: American is now worth $900 a share
   LoadingReadyRun: @kusinohki ya, I find games with "hidden" information that needs to be remembered tricky.
 calculated_uncertainties: 100 1 1 1 1 1
 HadesLeprechaun: we are seeing it from a top-down, what are the orange bits sticking out of all the main hotel chain pieces?
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: I just assume the hotels have lasers.
Gadora: @HadesLeprechaun They look like they could be spotlights, almost.
 quasi79fu: hotels with freakin lasers..
 drexciya808: 1000
 ArtDecoSunburn: Sackson is back. Can't keep a good Sid down.
 couchboyj: Hotels love to eat Cheetos
 e_bloc: hoya saxon
Gadora: I like the laser interpretation.
 quasi79fu: i know they saying saxon..but it sounds like another word with on at the end
   LoadingReadyRun: @HadesLeprechaun they are little flags that are included in the box. just decorative
 quasi79fu: you know sex?
 ArtDecoSunburn: @AMillionCatsOnTypewriters Those lasers are going to wreak havoc with your million cats. Those poor keyboards.
 HadesLeprechaun: laser flags, got it
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: @quasi79fu Aren't they saying Sackson
 Heckhoundbolt: festival has just existed in its own corner since its founding
 drexciya808: good presence
 Heckhoundbolt: like it was first and nothing else
 ArtDecoSunburn: @HadesLeprechaun Sounds like something that should have been in "Star Wars." "Laser flags. A relic of a more festive age."
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: @ArtDecoSunburn A lot of the keyboards are already broken. Just hope the oranges never find out
 ErynTzun: Big Blue? IBM?
 ArtDecoSunburn: @ErynTzun Yup. I think they actually had a hotel in Armonck.
 drexciya808: cold war
 MAPBoardgames: I found my 1966 copy of Acquire. The game identical with one exception: They added a second-place payout, and moved the previous secondary to the third-place.
 Heckhoundbolt: and no one but Matt is invested in sackson again
 ArtDecoSunburn: @AMillionCatsOnTypewriters I just assume the tabbies go wild for capitalization.
 drexciya808: @MAPBoardgames that is really cool
 MAPBoardgames: Sometimes a game is just good and doesn't need new rules
 quasi79fu: who has the calculator?
 ArtDecoSunburn: @MAPBoardgames Is the board the same shape? I thought the original was square?
 pleonasticTautology: danke scheon?
   LoadingReadyRun: It's like one of those queens on a chessboard puzzles. You have to place all the hotels, so they can't laser eachother
 MAPBoardgames: @ArtDecoSunburn Nope. Identical
Leels: came in to see dat logo in ACTION ✨
 ArtDecoSunburn: @MAPBoardgames Cool.
Leels: also what the heck am I looking at with this game?!?
Leels: yaaaaay
Leels: yay to my logo not capitalism
 ArtDecoSunburn: @LoadingReadyRun I'm pretty certain 3M in the sixties had a mirror chess game in the same bookshelf line "Acquire" was in.
 quasi79fu: yay captalism
  Juliamon: !yay
  LRRbot: Yaaaaaaaay...
 drexciya808: @ArtDecoSunburn sending me on a mission
   LoadingReadyRun: @ArtDecoSunburn I've seen that mirror laser game! it looks neat
 drexciya808: nice
 ArtDecoSunburn: The North filled up. Just like in the Sixties, they're moving to acquire chain in the South and Sunbelt.
 ArtDecoSunburn: @LoadingReadyRun Future AFK?
  LRRbot: If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Named clips with no autocaptions are preferred but not required!)
 quasi79fu: is it the roach motel of the game?
 ArtDecoSunburn: @quasi79fu It's hotel on Baltic Avenue.
 kusinohki: I don't _think_ it was hotels originally, but I forget what it was.  just generic companies??
 pleonasticTautology: dattebayo?
 quasi79fu: lol
 e_bloc: roaches can do better
 drexciya808: beej we believe
 pleonasticTautology: LMAO
 drexciya808: 
 e_bloc: ffs its still september
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: @kusinohki I'm looking at screenshots of 60s versions and the stock cards all say hotel
 drexciya808: yeah thug
Leels: I honestly thought those were keycaps for a keyboard when I first tuned in
 quasi79fu: Here in america..we are in depression
TheLodgium: This makes me want to see City of the Big Shoulders on AFK
 e_bloc: you know right now its nice that something called american is doing well
 ArtDecoSunburn: 2700 for three Americanos? I knew coffee was overpriced.
 quasi79fu: lol
 Dog_of_Myth: @e_bloc Yeah....ooof
 drexciya808: @ArtDecoSunburn just get that drip
 drexciya808: 
 Heckhoundbolt: if imperial acquires tower, it becomes safe
 ArtDecoSunburn: @TheLodgium That's such a great game. Nice understated aesthetic, knife fight gameplay.
 Pteraspidomorphi: 
 LordZarano: ᵓ߈
 ArtDecoSunburn: @drexciya808 It's the Sixties, so probably Sanka.
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: I was doing my best to not repeatedly complain about it.
 ArtDecoSunburn: You know what I'd love to see played on AFK? Either "Chinatown" or "Tammany Hall."
 drexciya808: @ArtDecoSunburn 
 e_bloc: forget it jake
RvLeshrac: @ArtDecoSunburn There are enough folks in LRR to do a full Diplomacy game, and then we can see an actual knife fight.
 kusinohki: LRR would probably like chinatown.  for me though, it's my least favorite game...
ghyllnox: 
 Roger_Job329: Norwegian cruises
 Dog_of_Myth: 
 e_bloc: I do
RvLeshrac: @RvLeshrac There may not be enough people after for a second game, though.
 drexciya808: lesbian cruisin ian
 ErynTzun: Thank goodness I don't have to see ads
 ArtDecoSunburn: @kusinohki I like it, but I admit it is a polarizing game.
TheLodgium: @RvLeshrac Diplomacy would be a banger of an AFK
 MAPBoardgames: Granny Marge's Man-free Barges?
glitched_goddess: was about to say when was the last time he was looking at u-hauls lol
 ContingentCat: I want to know how to get my algorithm like that
RvLeshrac: @TheLodgium It might even be the last content we ever see!
 drexciya808: @ContingentCat lmao
 ArtDecoSunburn: @TheLodgium The historian in me would enjoy nitpicking the chat for that one.
 kusinohki: I had a very bad experience playing chinatown, and that was after telling everyone I didn't want to play  (long version won't fit in chat)
 saucemaster5000: I love chinatown, but that game can fall very flat if folks aren't all game
 kusinohki: how many mergers have matt had the most now??
 drexciya808: Jack Nicholson’s opus
RvLeshrac: @kusinohki I have already told all the game groups I'm involved in up-front that if I don't want to play something, they can play it and I'll just go home.
 ArtDecoSunburn: @saucemaster5000 Yup. Very game group dependent.
 MAPBoardgames: @saucemaster5000 I found Lords of Vegas was similar, but without asking as much from the players.
 Toxxick: Just tuning in, this looks full on Cones of Dunshire, but I will enjoy trying to understand it
 e_bloc: life is too short for bad board game experiences
 saucemaster5000: honestly I just find lords of vegas kinda dull
RvLeshrac: *EVERY* negotiation-based game is garbage if *ANY* player is not interested.
 ArtDecoSunburn: @kusinohki Sorry to hear.
 MAPBoardgames: There is very little chance of any new chains starting
 kusinohki: yeah, I let my arms get twisted a little.  unfortunately, I have negative charisma.  if I don't play games I don't want to play, I'll almost never get to play anything
 ArtDecoSunburn: @MAPBoardgames 6a, right?
RvLeshrac: That's just part of the design, if someone's not negotiating, it destroys the balance of the game for everyone.
 drexciya808: life is not long enough for great board games
 MAPBoardgames: 9f 10g or somehow 6-8a
Gadora: 9F would do a new chain, which would be fun.
 MAPBoardgames: so much for 9F
Gadora: Yep.
 ArtDecoSunburn: @RvLeshrac Self-balancing games are tricky. I adore Root, but with the wrong group it completely falls flat.
RvLeshrac: @kusinohki I have a list of specific kinds of game I won't play, and that's presented to any new group of people. It's not an ultimatum, it's just "If I'm somehow forced to play one of these, none of us will have fun, so I will not."
 MAPBoardgames: and 10G
Gadora: 10G can still happen! 
 ArtDecoSunburn: @RvLeshrac I respect folks who know their preferences.
dagoth__ur_: WHAT IS 4C DOING
Gadora: @dagoth__ur_ Its best.
 niccus: that's not 4C, that's pyramid head
dagoth__ur_: 
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Thank you, Ben
TheLodgium: I'm grateful that my regular gaming groups respect the games that people want to play (although it helps that we're up to four tables these days so there's a lot of games being played)
 MAPBoardgames: @dagoth__ur_ It stands to show where Sackson became American. And annoying you, personally.
RvLeshrac: @ArtDecoSunburn Yeah nobody's had a problem with it, it's basically "party games, co-operative games, team games, and hidden-traitor/deduction"
 ArtDecoSunburn: The blue chain literally extends from border to border, both ways.
glitched_goddess: what setting do you use to launder your money? does it count as lights or darks? do you tumble dry or use high heat?
 drexciya808: 
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: 12c,11d, 10e all end the game
 e_bloc: tumble dry, low
 Toxxick: I walk away to get a drink and Iam goes from Bankrupt to 14k
 drexciya808: get rekt
 kusinohki: delicate, low, no bleach.  clothesline drying only
 Heckhoundbolt: a reminder, American was treated like a lamb to the slaughter
 Toxxick: *Capitalism*
 Pteraspidomorphi: In the past when I've played this, it ended with two or even three safe hotels rather than just one huge conglomerate
Gadora: @AMillionCatsOnTypewriters Any 10 except for 10G.
 drexciya808: ohoho
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: oh right, forgot to look at the bottom
 e_bloc: yeah its not just a g thing
 margieargie: Now I need to find that old LRR sketch about laundering money...
 kusinohki: no 2nd safe company surprisingly
 zeathean: What an odd game
 drexciya808: 
 Heckhoundbolt: festival was first and did nothing
 drexciya808: 
 Pteraspidomorphi: Festival probably treats their employees better!
 drexciya808: the reckoning
 Heckhoundbolt: 1964, one last round was not invented yet
shssqd01: don't you do shareholder bonuses for everything one last time?
 e_bloc: 41 or over, also on my dating profile
 zeathean: Phones have calculators on them
 drexciya808: pretty good acquisition bois
 e_bloc: you get a stockholder bonus and a gun
 KarolinaLinaLina: I hear the Continental is full of assassins 
 drexciya808: 
control_rig subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 107 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, control_rig! (Today's storm count: 162)
 e_bloc: 100 100 100 100 100
 kusinohki: break out the galaxy trucker rules - "the goal of the game is to make profit.  who cares if some other joker makes more profit?"
 drexciya808: rules of acquisition
 e_bloc: @drexciya808 heh I was just thinking that
 drexciya808: @e_bloc  
 Pteraspidomorphi: They "already did"
 drexciya808: how the turns have tabled
 ArtDecoSunburn: @KarolinaLinaLina And Cristoper Walkens.
 ArtDecoSunburn: @Heckhoundbolt As Nelson Rockefeller found to his chagrin.
 KarolinaLinaLina: @ArtDecoSunburn I don't get that reference 
 ArtDecoSunburn: In the 1990s, SNL had a running sketch series with Christopher Walken as a hotel lothario called The Continental.
 KarolinaLinaLina: Ohhhhh SNL 
 quasi79fu: forty two
 drexciya808: 
 SnackPak_: @ArtDecoSunburn I haven't thought about those in years
 ArtDecoSunburn: In a real stock market, dumping all these shares at once would spook the market and depress price.
 ErynTzun: hmm can't seem to find an actual video on youtube
 ErynTzun: https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/the-continental/2869208
 KarolinaLinaLina:  math? this is supposed to be fun!
 drexciya808: we got a badass here
 SnackPak_: 
 Dog_of_Myth: 
 KarolinaLinaLina:     
 A_Dub888: Matt "Capitalism" Griffiths
 ArtDecoSunburn: @ErynTzun They were shot from the perspective of the woman he was seducing. So a crew member with a steadicam harness.
TheLodgium: 
EbDorian: Is 0 the roundest round-number?
   LoadingReadyRun: @ArtDecoSunburn the real market doesn't have an "end" 
 saucemaster5000: Beej's hat fittingly makes him look like the failed salesman at the bar after the layoffs
 ErynTzun: @ArtDecoSunburn Yes I remember it
 drexciya808: u quietly productive bastard
 SnackPak_: @LoadingReadyRun All things end, Paul 
 KarolinaLinaLina: @LoadingReadyRun yes it does! communism 
 drexciya808: 
 Mr_Bitterness: The math really starts adding up
 e_bloc: that was a lot of fun
 NotCainNorAbel: 500
 HadesLeprechaun: mechanics can prop up an otherwise unassuming game very often
 ArtDecoSunburn: @LoadingReadyRun (Grins) Thankfully. And thanks to you guys for playing this. I appreciate you playing older games.
 Dog_of_Myth: This was a fun stream
 drexciya808: ty for this stream! really cool
RvLeshrac: The abilities are great.
 ArtDecoSunburn: @LoadingReadyRun And do look into "Chinatown" and "Tammany Hall." They would match your troupe's banter and energy level well.
 MAPBoardgames: Oh. There's "Classic mode"
 drexciya808: o that is a cool idea hah
 Heckhoundbolt: I think this a very good old school game
 ArtDecoSunburn: If it were a modern game, it would definitely have variable powers. And miniatures, for reason. And Cthuhlu.
RvLeshrac: Dawn of Ulos!
 drexciya808: lmao
RvLeshrac: @ArtDecoSunburn You've partially described Dawn of Ulos.
 ArtDecoSunburn: @RvLeshrac Ha!
 HadesLeprechaun: Paul is not realizing that 'statistics, numbers, and lack of randomness' Eurogames are still extremely popular in 2026
 drexciya808: 
 ArtDecoSunburn: @HadesLeprechaun Hansa Teutonica, you say?
 DeM0nFiRe: Since Nintendo 64?!?
 Pteraspidomorphi: Is it cursed? Don't get sucked into the game and turned into a capitalist
 Cptasparagus: Capitalist Jumanji
RvLeshrac: Apparently Paul needs to see some Food Chain Magnate.
 drexciya808: mille bornes!
 SnackPak_: lets go backgammon
 HadesLeprechaun: @ArtDecoSunburn I played that like a month ago, super fun, lol
 ArtDecoSunburn: @RvLeshrac There's a reprint of it out.
 drexciya808: old skool is the best
 e_bloc: every game needs a doubling cube
 e_bloc: backgammon is easy to learn, harder to master
 MAPBoardgames: @drexciya808 No! They want to enjoy playing a game.
 Nigouki: Backgammon but with crokinole elements
 drexciya808: @MAPBoardgames lol o come on
 Dog_of_Myth:  
 ArtDecoSunburn: @HadesLeprechaun Who doesn't love the Hanseatic League?
glitched_goddess: so when’s Ur and Senet?
 kusinohki: a single game of backgammon is very luck based.  a series with doubling cube gets strategic (I'm told)
RvLeshrac: @ArtDecoSunburn I'm aware, it's vastly too expensive, and I actually hate the game personally, takes too long and you know who won like 30 minutes into a 4 hour game. I know two people who would play it over *everything* else.
 ArtDecoSunburn: @glitched_goddess The Oist of OGs.
 ErynTzun: The moving picture thingamabobbin
 Micalovits: Probably still some of Jordynnes worms hiding in the office
 ErynTzun: WFH Worming from Home
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: @glitched_goddess List I found put Ur 5, Backgammon at 3, and Senet at 1.
 SnackPak_: are worms better or worse than bees in the office?
 DeM0nFiRe: 
 MAPBoardgames: Bustin' makes ME feel good!
 ArtDecoSunburn: @RvLeshrac Splotter people are like people who are really into particular film directors. "Can I interest you in the gospel of Tarantino/Food Chain Magnate?"
 drexciya808: 
 kusinohki: I think VCR clue would make a good "nightmare alternative", but understand how impossible it would be to get a copy...
 drexciya808: whoa
 serramarkov: For my actual birthday, and I get to watch!
 ArtDecoSunburn: @kusinohki That would be pretty great. I had the CD-ROM games.
 drexciya808: no relation to kathleen?
 MAPBoardgames: Are they still going back in time to produce new Nightmare gmes?
 KarolinaLinaLina:

  Juliamon: iirc that CtS is Kletka
 ArtDecoSunburn: Speaking of praxis, what's that urban riot boardgame? Now that's obscure.
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: I mean, you got a 100 bomb
 HadesLeprechaun: honestly there's probably more than one
 KarolinaLinaLina:  holy crap indeed
