Is Itadaki Street 2 - Neon Sign wa Barairo ni still worth playing in 2026?
An economic board game from Square, Itadaki Street 2 blends the spirit of Monopoly with the mascots of Mario and Dragon Quest, in a surprisingly deep system of buying shops and shares. The multiplayer is lively, strategic and able to fill a whole evening, driven by a clever stock-market mechanic. Japan-only and reliant on a fan translation, it is an excellent Japanese-style board game, best reserved for fans of convivial strategy ready to learn its workings.
