Summary

Dr. Drago's Madcap Chase is a unique strategy game for up to 8 players that is similar to Monopoly on a grand scale.The object of the game is to reach various destinations first and make as much money as you can on the way. The game has a strong boardgame feel, as you toss die each turn and choose which path to take and what to do with each property you encounter. "Chance cards" and maniacal Dr. Drago are obstacles to your progress, and their effects are often unpredictable. Good mix of strategy and luck makes it a lot of fun. Two thumbs up, way up!
