I apologize for straying from the cardboard in just my second post; I assure you that most of our confrontations are with the classic table top board games. However, I would argue that Mario Party is more of a board game than many of the card games that make it on to board game sites all over the place. With that said, on to the battle.
Last night, we played a short 10 turn party cruise Free-for-all against two computers, Mario and Boo. HB used Wario because I'm large and yellow and HL used Yoshi because she is a sleek dinosaur who likes to eat berries. We played the board "Windmillville". This is a bidding board. When you pass by a windmill you bid however many coins you want to (as long as you have them) and whoever bids the highest for each windmill wins that star. Some windmills are worth 2 stars and 1 is worth 3.
Okay now for the recap: HB started out pretty dominant, rolling crazy high, stealing everyones coins, and winning a couple of mini games. He ended up securing the first 3 windmills, all worth 1 star each. Boo started doing well and got a couple of stars. Mario was just lost and HL just kept getting unlucky. Then turn 8 happened, HL magically appeared in front of the 3 star windmill and won it for something like 8 coins. She then capped it off by going on a 4 game mini-game win streak, including a DK spot. Then, she stole one of HB's stars just to get a cherry on top of her victory sundae. If not for the end game stars: Orb usage, Running, and red spot landing, HB would have gotten totally run off the court. In the end, HB and HL got 1st and 2nd place with 7 and 5 stars respectively, and that's what we want: not to let the machine win.
