Pretty much the same as previous Party titles. If you don't have a Game Cube version around, you'll want to pick this one up. It is pretty much a TV-based board game. If you hate board games, steer clear. The game allows up to four players to take turns, trying to gather enough money to buy Stars. Obviously the winner is the one with the most stars. However, you can play with random bonuses on. This may give a star to, say, the person who bought the most candy. So even after the game, the winner may change. Candy allows you to do things like roll twice, or steal some of the other players coins. There are also challenge squares, which force two players to play a random game for coins. There are LOTS of these games. After playing a random game, you'll be allowed to play it as a mini-game, separate from the board game section. As you play games, you'll earn tickets. These can be used outside the game to buy access to mini-games you haven't seen, game music, and little souvenir trophies. All in all it's quite fun, but you really need friends over to enjoy it fully.
