My bad, weird it usually says back ordered on the front page not after you add it to your cart.

yeah, more "in stock but backordered" BS from ebgames. besides, even after 25% off, it'll still come to $34.99 with the cheapest shipping. good chance it'll be cart only as well. you could spend a few more bucks and get a mint and complete one on ebay.

While the horribly titled Monopoly - Boggle - Yahtzee - Battleship offers almost exactly what the physical board games do, the actual effort the development team put into the presentation is a little lackluster and unenthusiastic. If you can accept the sloppiness of the development, this compilation isn't half bad in either single or multiplayer challenges.Sounds like something to pick up in the bargain bin for a bunch of quarters.

Why is this game so sought after? I realize it may be rare, but Monopoly/Boggle/Yahtzee? Why not just play the real board games? Someone please explain this to me! @_@

Store finder shows several in my 200 mile radius. Might be worth checking out if you're wanting this.

It had one of the lowest print runs of any DS game. Maybe the lowest.

I had looked at this game a while back, but I seem to remember some reviews dinging it for the multiplayer not working for some of the games unless all players had the actual game cartridge. Apparently it works with a single cartridge for Boggle and Battleship ONLY, while Yahtzee and Monopoly require all players to have the cartridge. This kind of killed my interest in it. Spending $90-120 just to play Yahtzee DS with two or three other people is a bit of a rip-off :) If they had made all four of the games multiplayer-enabled with a single cartridge, I would have picked this up a long time ago.

Battleship was dull, no save in Monopoly...

Someone around here bought it off of my tradelist.

NO Saving in Monopoly?! That's really lame ;(

To be honest, I don't recall there being a save feature for any of the multiplayer games, but Monopoly was the one which was really annoying.

<3 Yahtzee though. That game rocks. Why isn't there an XBLA of it?!

Because you can play it with five dice, a pencil and a piece of paper?

Perhaps there were different versions released, but in my copy Monopoly did in fact have a save feature.

To quote briansraregames, Boggle with the touch screen is like crack. I play it often.

Ah, missed the multiplayer all the times you said it. A loser is me. Never mind.
