Our Review of the Original Game
The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Switch was highly acclaimed, earning a 9/10 in our review. It was praised for its faithful return to the classic Mario Party formula, enhanced with unique board mechanics and a flexible customization system. The game's Pro Rules option, which minimizes luck-based elements and emphasizes strategy, was particularly well-received. While the side offerings were noted as less enduring, the core party experience with friends and family, both locally and online, cemented Super Mario Party Jamboree as a standout title in the series.
