Grid is Good

Grid is Good (known as Points Pile-Up in PAL and NOE releases) is a General minigame from Mario Party: Island Tour. The name is a pun on the saying "Greed is good".

Introduction
The player takes a shape from the box on the left and places it on the grid. The top screen shows the space the player claimed it being highlighted, and another player's shape is shown on the board taking away one of the first player's claimed squares. The number of points are awarded to the two players. The board changes, the players nod, and the game begins.

Gameplay
Players use the shapes in the left box and put them on the board. After 10 seconds, the shapes where the players placed them are revealed. The numbers that were claimed by two or more players are burned out, and the players are awarded points based on their claimed space. The player that has the most points at the end of three rounds wins.
