The origin of the Dokapon series. Experience the joy of playing this dice-based RPG with four players. Battle monsters while competing for assets.

Released in 1993 (Super Famicom)
This title marks the birth of the Dokapon series. The “IV” in the name is said to reflect the game’s unique twist—its ability to support four players simultaneously. Peaceful village life in Dokapon Kingdom is disrupted by waves of monster armies invading from all directions. The king summons warriors from across the land, but when four heroes arrive at once, cooperation gives way to fierce competition over honor and wealth. Players move via roulette on a board-like map, battle monsters, liberate villages, accumulate assets, and strive for final victory. This title contains all foundational elements that define future Dokapon games: interference items, asset theft, the interplay of luck and strategy.
・Dokapon 3·2·1 ~Friendship That Calls the Storm~
Features character designs by manga artist Aimi Shibata and new gameplay modes such as Scenario Mode and Battle Royale. Experience intense battles where friendship and betrayal intertwine!

Released in 1994 (Super Famicom)
This game significantly improves upon the system from its predecessor, Dokapon Kingdom IV. Enhanced graphics and presentation, faster pacing, and the addition of a story-focused “Scenario Mode” greatly expand gameplay. Set one year after the previous title, monsters have overrun villages across the kingdom, prompting the king to declare a new strategy: “defeat monsters while competing for assets.” The winner with the most money will earn succession rights to the throne. Players now battle in the delicate balance between friendship and betrayal—strategic elements like “friendship sabotage,” enhanced interference, theft, and reversal mechanics have become fan favorites, even earning praise as “the best Dokapon ever.”
・Dokapon Gaiden ~Audition of Flames~
A fast-paced spin-off mode featuring smaller maps and one-way progression. Enjoy simple yet strategic gameplay.

Released in 1995 (Super Famicom)
This title stands out as an “extra” within the series. While simplified and more accessible, it retains the classic board-game style maps and event-driven gameplay. The map uses one-way progression or compact layouts, emphasizing competition and strategic interaction among players—the core of a real “audition.” It condenses the essence of Dokapon into a fast-paced experience.
