Sugoro Chronicle: Monopoly with monsters

Sugoro Chronicle: Migite ni Tsurugi wo Hidarite ni Saikoro (Sugoro Chronicle: Sword in the Left Hand, Dice in the Right) is another hybrid board game/RPG, though unlike Dokapon Kingdom, this one seems to be original for the Wii. Sugoru Chronicle, developed by Compile Heart, uses 2D character portraits of its characters, as well as 3D models in battle.

The game is a Monopoly-like competition for acquisition of money, with a few interesting RPG-based modifications, most notably battling between characters. There are over 100 jobs the player can choose from, which seem to affect abilities in battle.

Sugoro Chronicle will be out in Japan this August. Their only Wii game to date, Sharuui Takoron, was localized as Octomania by Conspiracy Entertainment, so that would be the most likely avenue of stateside release.

My dad told me how RPG intense he and his four brothers were. They would lay down 8 Monopoly boards end to end with enough hotels for each of them and play a full game in a week. They also played with Army toys giving them 20 sided die rolls to determine accuracy and damage especially mentioning Rocket Propelled Grenade to take out an aircraft.
