Excellent port of the old classic. Works flawlessly on a modern PC, none of that usual fiddling around with DOS-box.

Seems the devs are also patching the game frequently to crush bugs reported by the community.

Well worth the money if you want to re-live this old classic.

Has a lot of potential, but the execution is lacking. In its current state, I can't recommend this game.

Here are some points explaining why I cannot recommend this game:

- It obviously copies Mario Party games, but it is lacking some crucial elements that made Mario Party so much fun. First of all, there is no tutorial messages on the screen. You start a game, and you go straight in, no explanations whatsoever. Now, in another type of game this would be OK, but in a board game no. There's no explanation what the different squares on the board do, what the different board events do etc (For example, on the board I played, a board event filled some parts of the board with red water with no explanation what it is for. I thought the water is impassable terrain, but it wasn't, and I couldn't figure out what it does. After a turn or two the event ended, and nothing happened. A real WTF moment.) In Mario Party when you triggered a board event, a tutorial box popped up telling what the event does. Here, no explanation, and you really cannot figure it out.

-Players have "health", but there is no explanation to what the health is about. Only way to find out is to let it run out, which I wasn't planning to do.

- The UI is kind of messed up. I tried playing on my couch, but some of the text boxes were so incredibly small, even with only 1920x1080 resolution, that I had to get up from my couch and walk to the TV to read them. The UI should be the same scale as the main menu, which is easy to read.

- Some of the minigames don't really work on split screen couch co-op. The ones where everyone has their own screen just work horribly, the fish eye camera makes me dizzy.

- When you move on the board, you can't see how many moves you have left as your character walks. Remember how it is in Mario Party? You have a number pop up over your character's head after each step. Now I have to count the steps on my own. It really takes away from the suspense, because you can't really count where your character will land, because you probably forgot how many squares you have walked.

The game just feels like an early access title, and I can't recommend getting it.
