Aim of the Game

Aim of the Game is a battle and a duel mini-game that is found in the Wii game Mario Party 8.

Introduction
A top hat is on the screen and cards start flying out of the top. Shortly thereafter, the game begins.

Gameplay
Each player must shoot five cards from a falling deck and hope to get the highest score. The cards flip repetitively, and the number on the card (and therefore the point value) is only visible for a short while. The numbers are 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 2x (which doubles the player's current score), and 0x (which reduces the player's total score to zero). The "x" cards are multipliers. A timer is not visible while the game is going, but if the last of the cards fall off-screen, the game ends. Once the mini-game announcer says "Finish!", the value in the cards gets added up or multiplied. Whoever has the most points wins the minigame.

Strategy
The best possible score is 800 points, obtained by first shooting a "50" and then four "x2" cards.
