Pummel Party review

Pummel Party is the PC answer to a board game party, at a quarter of Mario Party Jamboree's price. Rebuilt Games' Steam page describes a 4 to 8 player online and local multiplayer game, and says 1 to 8 players can compete online or on the same screen. In board mode players collect weapons and items, from the Punching Glove to the Remote Controlled Eggplant, and use them to knock rivals back; between turns they play minigames such as Snowy Spin and Explosive Exchange. A separate minigame mode skips the board, and bots fill empty slots. Steam users rate it Very Positive, with 88% of 14,524 English reviews positive, and the minimum spec is 3 GB of RAM and 1 GB of storage. The trade-offs: it runs on Windows only, local play for 8 needs a controller per player, and the items are built to sabotage friends. At $14.99 it is one of the best value picks for PC groups.
