Starting with $49 apiece, players in The Game of 49 bid to buy spaces on the 49-square (7-by-7) game board. Randomly drawn number cards are auctioned one at a time, with the highest bidder placing a chip on the matching board space. Wild/Payoff cards give players a choice of where to place their chip and also award cash to all players for their chips on the board: $7 per chip, with a maximum payoff of $49. The first player to claim four spaces in a row, in any direction, wins. Zillionaires on Mars and Zillionaires: Road Trip USA keep the same gameplay as in the game's original release, but with dollar values now in the zillions as players bid for lots on Mars or roadside attractions alongside U.S. highways. Luck: The Game offers the same gameplay in a handy travel bag with the game board printed right on the bag. Theme is based on the Skydance movie, Luck, released on Apple+ August 5, 2022.
