Fifty, which was also released as Count Up, is a number-based game in which players pick numbers that will ideally bring them points. At the start of a round, all players secretly write down five numbers between 1 and 49 on their player sheet, with some numbers being restricted. Someone then starts counting up from 1 to 50, and if you wrote down a called number, raise your hand. If you are the only player who wrote that number, you become the leader and continue to count, scoring 1 point for each number that you count. As soon as exactly one other player raises their hand, they take over as leader. If two or more players raise their hand at the same time, they cancel one another out, and the current leader keeps counting. When the count reaches 50, the round ends, and after playing four rounds, whoever has scored the most points wins.
Fifty has 2 videos from 2 creators: 1 review and 1 how-to-play guide. They date from April to October 2026.
To learn the rules, start with "All the Games with Steph: Fifty - Teach" by Steph Hodge, which runs 9 min.

If you like it, try Cookie Run: Kingdom The Board Game and Foldris, also by Syou (しょう), or King of 12 and Fractured Sky, which share several of its mechanics.
