The newest Mario Party came out the other day for the Switch and I've been loving it so far! Jamboree seems to combine all the best features of the previous titles to make it my favourite version on the Switch!
There's a good mix of motion and non-motion minigames, the boards I have played so far have all been fun and interesting (something I feel Super Mario Party suffered with, I only really enjoyed Kamek's Tantalising Tower) and the other modes are fun enough time passers if you don't want to play a full game of Mario Party.
There's a good character selection, items are fun and the new buddy system adds an interesting twist. Personally, I think the advantages for the person who gets to the buddy first should be bumped up a bit as it's still quite easy to beat them even without an advantage and there's a few other things I've noticed that could be tweaked to make the game even better.
If you've been hesitant about getting it I would definitely recommend it! If anyone wants to play some online games maybe we could get a PI party together to play?

just played this this afternoon with some friends. Supports up to 8 players on switch. super easy to pick up and play even for non-gamers. Only a couple buttons. Basically, everyone looks the same and you have to sniff out the other real people and punch them to get a point. so you have to act naturally and when you try to tag someone out you also out yourself so you have to blend back into the crowd
Very fun and easy for people to hop in and out

Fun party games that you play with friends and your phone is your controller! Highly recommend playing for group hangs :)
Fibbage is a classic, Bomb Corp is very entertaining, Mad Verse City is funny bc everyone sucks at it. I have the 2nd, 4th, and 5th packs but theyโre up to 10 now!
Some of my oldest friends came up to Maine to celebrate a birthday so we got together last night and booted these packs up just like when we were still kids ๐ฅน
I donโt have a personal laptop anymore but I was able to log into my steam account on my friendโs MacBook Air and that worked just fine tho loading screens took some time

I just found this website and thought it would be the perfect place to share my very niche interest in Piet! Named after the artist Piet Mondrian, it is an esoteric scripting language that allows you to create artwork that functions both as an image as well as valid code that can be used to run a program!
I have used it to design a Valentine's card for my girlfriend that is a Piet image that has a big heart in the middle, and when interpreted returns the message "I love you <3" as well as other less romantic and more goofy images.
Other people have done way cooler stuff, such as create a rock paper scissors game and the game of life in a Piet image!
I've attached the card I made and below is some links if you'd like to learn more about Piet :))
