Cool game, but it's so long! played 25 turns on the first board and I think we played for about 3 hours. for anyone that has played it a bit, what is a good mode to play that will keep things kind of quick but not cut the game off to much?

This game is brutal, I was getting my ass handed to me with no stars, and in the last 5 turns I won the game, the chance elements get remarkably frustrating. seems like a game that would go well with beer.

We usually go with 15 turn games. Turn off the minigame explanation screens if everyone has played before. Try to play maps without a lot of events... the bowser stage can get annoying in that regard when Bowser walks the whole path.

Even though it is better than 4 in that regard, Mario Party as a series still has a long way to go as far as streamlining everything.

Edit: Oh and to slightly mitigate the luck factor keep the bonus stars on. The coin star and mini game star do a lot to reward skillful playing. The ? mark star might also make you want to land on some of the more harmful ? spaces, which can be an interesting decision at times.

Remember the game saves automoacialy each turn. SO you can play for days.
