Board game developed by Square Enix and published by Nintendo in the USA in December 2011. Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong and Dragon Quest characters traverse a board buying shops, investing in stocks and accumulating fortunes to become billionaires. Space events, cards and mini-games in trading ports, four-player multiplayer. American version of the Fortune Street series, known in Europe as Boom Street.
An economic board game from Square Enix, known in Japan as Itadaki Street, Boom Street blends Monopoly style movement and stock market speculation on boards peopled with Mario and Dragon Quest characters. The mix of chance and financial strategy, and the long four player games, create a devious, addictive conviviality. The dense rules take time to learn and games drag on.
