Culdcept

I was really into the ps2 version of the game that managed to come over. Think Monopoly meets Magic. Instead of buying property you summon a monster to hold your territory and territory comes in 5 flavors. 4 elements (wind, fire, forest and water) and neutral or rock. Monster get a health buff being on like colored squares and if a person lands on a square they either have to pay a toll or fight the monster with one of their own. Thinks get more heated once you start setting up chains and paying to change the colors of squares to create stronger chains and then there’s a stock/symbol market where you buy shares of each color type so if a player is creating a lot of fire lands you can buy fire stocks and get a cut of the value he’s creating and then cash out when you feel you can squash all his properties. It can create some fun encounters between players if you can stick through it and get into it. The dice roller in the game is pretty terrible though. A portable version with online multiplayer and room for updates has always been on my wishlist or a good pc equivalent. It was such a gut punch seeing culdcept trophies and music included in smash bros and nintendo has done nothing for it. Not even a pity release.
