Geared to the younger generation of video gamers, Mario Party is based on the classic board games you only pull out during the holidays. Replacing the traditional plastic peg game pieces are a cast of Nintendo s favorite characters Mario, Luigi, Wario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong and Princess Peach. Each feels they deserve to wear video game s supreme crown, it s your job to determine who truly deserves it.
Game play is traditional board game fare.
Players take turns by hitting a rotating dice block. The number on which the block stops is the number of spaces you can progress on the board. Each space yields a different event, some give you coins, some take away coins, and some launch minigames. It s these minigames that separate Mario Party from the folded games you ll find in your closet. Skill games More than 50 of these miniature arcade games are scattered throughout Mario Party s six boards.
