Monopoly/Boggle/Yahtzee/Battleship

Background

Play one of four classic Hasbro board games DS style, which each feature wireless multiplayer gameplay for up to four players, and new stylus controls. Monopoly, Boggle, Yahtzee, and Battleship are included in the selection, each offering the same rules and play styles as the original real-life games.

Gameplay

Each of the four games is recreated as closely to the original board game as possible. Monopoly features all the traditional properties, playing pieces, Community Chest, and Take a Chance cards that the original did. Players will still find themselves going directly to jail or landing on a Boardwalk space covered in houses. Boogle keeps all of the word-finding fun, losing only the need to shake the letters up. Yahtzee and Battleship, likewise, keep as much as possible from the board game versions. The DS touch screen comes into play in a number of different ways, allowing players to role, move, and sink battleships with a touch of the screen. Battleship, especially, makes use of the dual screen to mimic the way the BATTLESHIP board game is set up.
