Itadaki Street: Gorgeous King

Itadaki Street: Gorgeous King is a Miscellaneous game, developed by Tomcat System and published by Enix Corporation, which was released in Japan in 1998.

 Gameplay 
The games are similar to Monopoly: players roll one die to advance around a board, purchase unowned property they land on and earn money when opponents land on the player's property, and draw cards when they land on certain spaces. The games' also differ from Monopoly in that players can buy and sell stocks of a block, affecting the value of block's stock by buying or selling that block's stock or by developing a player owned property of that block which increases the value per share of stock for that block.

It is not necessary to own the entire block to develop a property, though controlling more than one property of a block allows the player to develop their properties to larger buildings and collect more from opponents. Players must collect a set of four suits to level up and collect additional gold when the pass the starting position/bank. In most versions, up to four players can compete to win each board. To win a player must make it back to the bank with the board's required amount, which includes the total value of the player's stocks, property value, and gold on hand.

 Development 
After Enix bought the license of the Itadaki SS games for NES & SNES this one was the first (and the only) release of the saga for PlayStation.
