Itadaki Street DS

Mash up the famous characters from Dragon Quest and Super Mario Bros in a Monopoly-like board game and you have the latest incarnation of Enix's Itadaki Street. The goal is the accumulation of property and capital while your protagonist roams around a board. At the outset of each game, four players stand on the starting point. The first player throws the dice and then moves the allotted spaces as dictated by the die. Some spaces on the board feature bonuses which yield gifts while other spaces serve as property that players can buy. Once you're a property owner, you can charge fees to anyone who lands on your space so it's sort of like collecting rent. The ultimate goal is to accumulate such a surfeit of property and capital that you overwhelm your competitors. «more»
