Card Party

Card Party is a side-game from Mario Party 6. It is very similar to Mario Party, except it's in the form of a card game. Hosted by Mamar (in charge of Bonus Mode), this board is entirely made up of cards, with character game pieces instead of actual characters. First thing that players did was choose the size of the board (7x7, 8x8, 9x9, or 10x10). Then, the game pieces were chosen (Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Wario, Daisy, or Waluigi). Next, the order of play was chosen by picking cards numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. The player that picked 1 went first, and so on. When that was done, players chose where to start on the board. Once the game started, each player rolled the dice (not Dice Block) and moved a certain number of spaces. As they went turning cards over, they could pick which direction they wanted to go. When a new card was turned over, it revealed a Path Card, Item Card, Event Card, Bowser Card, or Star Card.

Path Cards
These cards simply opened a pathway for players to continue traveling. It was where they chose which direction they wanted to go, depending on which way the path went. It was always best to head toward the Star cards, as the winner was determined by the number of Stars. Sometimes, another die was revealed from under a Path Card, making the player roll it and the number rolled was added to the current number of spaces left.

Item Cards
These cards give you useful items that you can use by pushing B at the beginning of your turn

Double Star

Last Card Event
if one player is in fourth place when left only one card in game, one of those events can happen.

Star Chance
