Super Mario Party Jamboree review

Super Mario Party Jamboree is the deepest board game party on this list. Nintendo's store page lists over 110 minigames, the most in any Mario Party game, 22 characters including new additions Pauline and Ninji, and seven boards, five of them new. The core loop is easy to explain to guests: roll the dice, collect coins in minigames and buy Stars, and the player with the most Stars wins. Hosts can switch between Party Rules and Pro Rules, set CPU difficulty, add Star handicaps and turn motion minigames on or off. Beyond the board, Rhythm Kitchen and Toad's Item Factory are motion modes for up to 4 on one system, while Koopathlon runs 20-player online races and Bowser Kaboom Squad is co-op for up to 8 online. The limits matter for big parties: only 4 people play on one Switch, and the larger modes need one system per player plus Nintendo Switch Online. At $59.99 it is also one of the pricier picks.
