Like the idea of “Acquire” but find it too complicated for either yourself or your gaming group? “The Game of 49” might be a bit more your speed. In short, it’s an auction game that tasks players with getting four chips of their color in a row on a 7×7 grid…doing so earns them victory. I suppose one could compare it to “Bingo”, but with auctioning instead of random number calling. Further, players will be able to earn back the money they’re spending from time to time, though the amount they earn is often dependent on how many tokens they have out at the time. Before I go any further, I’d like to thank Game Designer & Publisher Mark Corsey for reaching out and providing me with a free prototype copy for review purposes.
