I’m not typically a fan of board game games, but this one will always have a special place in my heart. Sort of a Monopoly derivative, this takes everything that makes that game such a slog to set up and keep track of, and makes it all automatic, adding more content and mechanics that straight digital ports of monopoly lack depth in. I’ve sunk many hours in this game over the years, and it’s one I keep coming back to; even playing by myself with CPUs is a joy. I will say, if you’ve played this game enough, the objective beats sort of start getting repetitive; owning a whole district is sort of broken, and becomes its own win condition, but sometimes fate doesn’t roll in your favor, so every game is a new day. I love how casually this is a Mario x Dragon Quest crossover, and I love all its idiosyncratic charm.
Fortune Street is simply Monopoly on Wii with a Mario and Dragon Quest skin. It's a fun game, though trying to unlock everything will become a chore. Game is at its most fun with friends, though the game themselves will be long. Only put on retired because I also have many other games to play and beat.
