There are seven boards in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Mario Party Jamboree, all with various themes, mechanics, and routes designed into them. Its predecessor, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Mario Party, only brought four and they were all square shaped, with mechanics that barely triggered during regular gameplay. Jamboree is a major step up in this department, and even has a story mode dedicated to uncovering the secrets of the boards. They're the main, and🌠 best, way to play Super Mario Party Jamboree, but which one is best? We've got you covered.

While theme has been taken into consideration, the boards are mainly ranked here by how interesting their mechanics are (plus how much they impact gaꦐmeplay), and how enjoyable each boar🐬d is to play in a group.

7 Mario's Rainbow Castle

Marios Rainbow Castle in Super Mario Party Jamboree

Something has to go bottom, and there are no bad boards in Jamboree. But Mario's Rainbow Castle is the most simplistic, 🍷with a mechanic that, while clever, feels a little unfair. If this is the beginner board for younger players, it's easy to see it causing more trouble than its worth. The board itself is a fairly linear route to a castle, at which point you start back at the bottom.

At this castle is a Star - unlike other boards, it never moves. However, every time someone reaches the star, the castle tower rotates, and instead of a Star, you get a Ztar, which forces you to pay 20 coins but is worth nothing. Y🅺ou can do some loops on the path up to ensure you reach the tower for a Star instead, and a unique item can rotate the tower just before your turn, but it's a little too tricky for how simple it is.

6 Goomba Lagoon ဣ ℱ

Goomba Lagoon in Super Mario Party Jamboree.

Goomꦑba Lagoon has something of the opposite problem. While again, not a bad board, it feels a little too simple for how tricky it is. The beach themed board has paths that only open during low tide, and various activities scattered around it, as well as a volcano at the back that can explode mid-game and send out Golden Goombas.

But despite all this, it's often just walking around in a circle. Compared to other boards here tha♌t have more interesting routes, Goomba Lagoon often has you going away from the action. It's similar to (though better than) Megafruit Paradise from Super Mario Party, not just through the beach theme but in that you often don't get to see everything it can do across a game.

5 Mega Wiggler's Tree Party

Mega Wigglers Tree Party in Super Mario Party Jamboree.

Don't Wake Wiggler is a somewhat notorious game from Super Mario Party, so it's an excellent callback to build an entire board around it. There's a fairly leis𒐪urely pace to this one, sharing a 'difficulty' (more like complexity) rating of one with Mari✃o's Rainbow Castle, but it feels a little more suited to that gentle rhythm.

The idea here is that most enemies🌳 are sleeping, and the goal is not to wake them (which happens if you stop in front of them). You'll also need to cross Wiggler, and come back, to harvest coins from honey and reach the star each time, but in doing so you risk waking him up. When you do, he moves around to reveal a new path, and must be soothed with a bell to get him to move back. It's an easy-going board, but everything in it complements that perfectly.

4 Westernᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤💛⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ Land

Western Land in Super Mario Party Jamboree

On theme alone, Western Land might be the best board here. Set in the old timey Wild West, the board has two routes - a train track around the outside, and winding roads through the middle. You can ride the train to any of the three stations, allowing you to get closer to the star, and smashing into anyone standing on the💟 track. This sends them back to the start, and is a great way to wreck your opponent's plans.

Similarly, you can call your buddies over to the milk saloon, forcing you all back to the same place. These two elements combined fully engage with the theme in an interesting way, and suit a party eager to mess with each other. But at the same time, the track being one big loop and the middle paths feelไi🀅ng a little messy (one gate is locked by an item key, and they don't offer much else of intrigue) means the board doesn't quite feel as interesting to move around, despite appearances.

3 🔯Rainbow Galle🍌ria

Rainbow Galleria in Super Mario Party Jamboree

Rainbow Galleria is set in a shopping mall, which doesn't instantly seem like the most interesting setting, especially not compared to an eℱnchanted forest or dangerous volcano. But Rainbow Galleria does a great job of making it feel interesting through a variety of activities. With three levels, there are escalators to ride, as well as an elevator that takes you to the very top as you hunt the Star.

The extra tiers instantly make the fairly standard shape a lot more interesting, and while this can mean you're stranded away from the Star, the mall as (unsurprisingly) more stores to let you stock up on items or trigger special events. There's also a stamp collecting exercise which rewards travel, and more choice and tactics on where🦩 you might wander.

2 King Bowser's Keep

King Bowsers Keep in Super Mario Party Jamboree.

King Bowser's Keep is the final board of the storyꦡ mode, and rated by the game itself as the most 'difficult' one. It earns that billing, offering a thrilling time inside this lava-filled base. A giant Bowser (actually an impostor, don't worry about Mario Party lore) surveys the scene in the middle of the board. A constantly imposing presence, there's carnage if you stay where the action is on this central square, with Bowser likely to attack and the direction of travel to change at a moment's notice.

Another gimmick here is the vault to the back of the map, and you can pick up parts of the code as you go around the board, so it feels a little like a heist. It's wise not to tread water wating for the opportunity though - while the main route is a simple circuit, making it to the end is a struggle, and if you do reach the🌼 fabled pipe that awaits you, you'll be rewarded.

1 Roll 'em Raceway

Roll Em Raceway in Super Mario Party Jamboree

In Roll 'em Raceway, you drive a car around the board. That is surely reason enough alone to put it at the top. But Roll 'em Raceway doesn't stop there. It has two Stars in play at once, meaning choosing your line and maintaining your speed (AKA picking a path and rolling✱ high on the dice) is folded into the gameplay perfectly.

Combine that with spots that spring you into new positions, more coins each time you complete a lap, and an invading Broozer in a monster truck, and you have Super Mario P🦩arty Jamboree's most exciting board. It's totally unique to play on, uses its theme to add fresh neꦡw mechanics, and always has a trick up its sleeve.
