Best party game for family & friends.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2021
My younger cousins and nephews love playing this game over and over even though there are hundreds of other games left untouched.There are 5 different game modes: Partner play - which is kinda free-roam/unrestricted play; River Survival - Co-op Mode; Sound Stage - a Rhythm Game; Minigames - which just focuses purely on the minigames (instead of the board game and star collecting aspect); and finally the main mode - Mario Party.You can have 1 to 4 players on 1 or 2 system. And you can also play online if you have Nintendo online membership. You do need to buy extra joy cons if you want to play with 3 or 4 players and the Pro Controller does not work for this game. If you don't have enough human players, the AI(s) fill in the spot.The main game is basically a 1v1v1v1 board game mixed with mini games chosen from a pool of 80 different minigames. You need to collect stars to win; you need coins to buy stars; you win minigames to get coins: That's the basic gist of the game. The mini games range from 1v1v1v1, 2v2 and 1v3 depending on the randomly chosen mini game.There are 4 different boards to play on. The 4th board unlocks after you have played on all 3 boards. I felt that the first 2 boards were a bit blend for a mario game but the other 2 board's design is great and makes up for it.There are 20 characters to play as (4 of which you have to unlock). Each character has a different dice with different roll distribution. For example, my favourite, Boo has a dice with {0*, 0*, 5, 5, 7, 7} (* -2 coins on 0). You can still use the basic {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} dice regardless of which character you use and you get access to more different dice, from the one your character starts with, as you gain allies within the game.I love weighing probabilities for dice rolls. And the mini games always keeps you on your toes.I wish there were more logic/puzzle minigames instead it's mainly dexterity based mini games. Also I can't afford to keep buying 2 pairs of joy cons every year because of joy con drift. 3 and 4 player games are always more fun then just 1 or 2 player games. With 2 players, when 1 person starts winning, things become one-sided. With 1 player, it's just lonely and the CPU gangs up on you.Nintendo never lowers the prices of their games or give any decent discount - No matter how old or outdated the game becomes. So I recommend waiting for Mario Party Superstars before you decide to buy this game.
