Overview

Mario Party 8 follows its tradition with social, strategic game play of board games and adds breaks for quick, action-oriented minigames. In the main mode, players can experience six board games in search of stars and coins, landing on spaces that are helpful or a hindrance. Several variations for these boards tweak the main goals to enhance game play for solo sessions and up to to four-player games. There are also minigames at the end of each round.
