Acquire, Vegas Showdown Now on Facebook

Friday October 3, 2008
The board games Acquire and Vegas Showdown can now be played on the social networking site Facebook, as GameTable Online has released beta versions of both games. The card game Guillotine also is available.

GTO games on Facebook can be played either live or asynchronously (similar to play by email). Players can switch back and forth within the same game. An email to GTO users said, "Since this is an open beta test, we expect that there will be some issues that may need to be resolved." If you're on Facebook, feel free to challenge me to a game.

Christoph: I found the games just by searching on “Acquire” and “Vegas Showdown.”

Mario: Vegas Showdown is definitely there. I don’t know if there is any sort of U.S.-only restriction or not (like there is on the Hasbro version of Scrabble).

Jeremiah: You might be able to contact the people at http://www.GameTableOnline.com to work through the problem. These are still beta games.
