Other Sugoroku Games
Many Sugoroku-based games were released in Japan, these include: Kiteretsu Daihyakka: Chōjikū Sugoroku, Sugoroku Ginga Senki, Battle Sugoroku: Hunter (SuperLite 1500 Series) (known in North America as Battle Hunter), Ganbare Goemon: Mononoke Sugoroku, Dokodemo Hamster 4: Doki Doki Sugoroku Daibouken!, Hello Kitty: Minna de Sugoroku, Gotouchi Hello Kitty Sugoroku Monogatari, Yu-Gi-Oh! Sugoroku no Sugoroku (known in North America and Europe as Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler), Okiraku Sugoroku Wii (also known as Family Pirate Party), Hidamari Sketch: Doko Demo Sugoroku x 365, Asoberu Ehon Tobida Sugoroku! (known in North America as PictureBook Games: Pop-Up Pursuit and in Europe as Picturebook Games: A Pop-Up Adventure), among few other titles.
The video game Samurai Warriors 2 features a mini-game named Sugoroku, but it bears very little resemblance to the above described games. Instead, it plays very much like Itadaki Street, Wily & Right no RockBoard: That's Paradise, or a simplified version of Monopoly: players take turns in moving around a board, the spaces of which are designated as different territories of Japan. By landing on an unoccupied space, the player is able to buy that space for a set amount of money. If one player lands on a space purchased by another, they must pay a fee to that player, or else can choose to challenge the player for control of that space (utilising the main Samurai Warriors 2 game engine for special challenge games). Also present on the board are "Shrine" spaces, which are roughly analogious to Monopoly's Chance and Community Chest spaces.

Famous quotes containing the word games:
“As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
Before their plays and games were organized,
They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
