Oh! I agree

I think MP 9 is the best entry in years. I used to play the shit out of 3 back in the day with some buddies after late night shifts. MP 5 wasn't bad but we've been massively disappointed with every other entry until this one. It fits perfectly with our more responsibility driven lives now too. Games are much shorter, only about an hour long because you progress towards an endpoint rather than just rolling for x amount of turns. If you wan to play for a long session, you can get in 3 games in the amount of time you'd have played one for previous installments. They got rid of most of the stupid wii gimmick crap like the mic, etc. The mini games are pretty fun. They did a big shakeup, not sure if you read anything on the game but now you all travel together on the board in a vehicle so everyone is always in the same spot on the board together. They got rid of items but you can get various types of dice. These last two points sound weird but they actually work well with the system in place and I'd go into detail but my post would be too long for posting about a game in a FB thread (probably already is). You can also set how many players you want without having a CPU player take a spot. We tried one 3 player game and it still worked well. I'll stop here but if you're thinking about buying it and have questions, I'll answer them.
