Oh boy. What were they thinking? Did Nintendo forget that Mario Party is a board game first of all? There are only four boards in total and they are all so small and uninspired. The design of these boards is also pretty bad. You can easily traverse the entire thing in one round and buy stars for only 10 coins. There is barely any strategy to be played. This game is so disappointing.

I'm happy that Nintendo came back to the old formula but this was a very lazy entry in the franchise. The only good thing here are the minigames, and you have 80 of them. Too bad you can only play a handful online tho, the multiplayer advertising was also very misleading.

I hope they make a better Mario Party game soon, building in the foundations of this one. Shame I had to pay for a full game that feels more like a prototype of something that may be good in the future.
