Mario Party

The long-running Mario Party franchise began in 1998 and is a series of party games that aim to be fun for all the family. The majority of games in the series see players rolling dice and racing around a board while also competing in minigames.  The Mario Party series has varied in terms of quality over the years, though the games are usually great fun with friends.
