''Mario Party 6'', as with previous installments of the ''Mario Party'' series, plays as an interactive board game, where up to four players take turns rolling [[Dice Block]]s with numbers 1-10, the number indicating how far they can travel. The goal of the game is to earn coins to buy the Stars, which are dependent on the board's rules. In the beginning of every game, players are introduced to the board, where they are asked to hear about the board and any unique quirks it may have. The game then determines the order the players go, by hitting Dice Blocks, where higher numbers mean players go sooner. At the beginning of every game, players receive 10 coins to start with. During board gameplay, players can obtain various items called [[Orb]]s, very alike to ''[[Mario Party 5]]'''s capsules, from either purchasing them from [[Orb Hut]]s, passing [[Orb Space]]s, or winning them by landing on [[? Space]]s to help themselves and/or hurt the other players. At the end of every turn, a mini-game is played, where the type of mini-game is determined by what color the space the players have landed on. All mini-games have their own controls and objectives, which are outlined prior to playing them. Winning players receive 10 coins from mini-games; however, certain types of mini-games such as bonus mini-games offer different prizes. After the mini-game is completed, the game is saved, and players return to the board to once again move around in. Various mini-games have special conditions to play in them: Battle mini-games occur at random, where number of coins are placed at stake where higher scoring players earn more coins; players also vote for minigames rather than have a roulette decide for them, Duel mini-games occur when players either land on [[Duel Space]]s or land on the same space in the last five turns, and DK and Bowser mini-games can be played when players land on the characters' respective spaces. | ''Mario Party 6'', as with previous installments of the ''Mario Party'' series, plays as an interactive board game, where up to four players take turns rolling [[Dice Block]]s with numbers 1-10, the number indicating how far they can travel.

When the last five turns has reached, a [[Last Five Turns Event]] commences, hosted with either Brighton or Twila depending on the time of the day. The current standings are tallied up, and the host brings in the fourth place player to spin the bonus wheel, which has many various effects, some greatly helping the last player. Another consequence is that players automatically duel each other if they land in the same space. After the last turn, the stats are tallied up once more, and Brighton and Twila give out [[Bonus Star|bonus stars]] which are rewarded when players complete certain tasks. The player who has the most Stars wins the game, with coins serving as a tiebreaker; if the coin amount is also a tie, the winner is determined by a Dice Block. | When the last five turns has reached, a [[Last Five Turns Event]] commences, hosted with either Brighton or Twila depending on the time of the day.

One new mechanic introduced to the ''Mario Party'' series is the time of the day. In multiplayer boards, the game always starts out at daylight, hosted by Brighton. Indicated by a meter by the beginning of every turn and by the pause menu, players can see how many turns the day time has left. After the third time, day changes to night, which also lasts three turns. During the change, the board alters to reflect the setting of the day, while also introducing various gameplay changes depending on the board, indicated by small cutscenes. In this time period, Twila becomes the host. When three turns pass, the night changes to day once again, and the cycle repeats. | One new mechanic introduced to the ''Mario Party'' series is the time of the day.
