12 | ->''"I've always questioned Mario's definition of party. Apparently in the Mushroom Kingdom a 'party' is defined as a random string of tasks through which one risks their life for coins, then spends said coins on stars so that they may be declared the 'winner'."'' |

15 | A genre of game that took off with the release of ''VideoGame/MarioParty1'' on the Platform/Nintendo64. A party game is a [[MinigameGame minigame collection]] where two to four players compete against each other in a [[GiantBoardGame board game-like environment]]. This is not a rigid rule though; party games can have board gameplay, but no minigames, and vice-versa (see MinigameGame for more examples of the latter). |
16 | |
17 | Because those games encourage fun over competition, rarely do they require much skill to play, with luck and chance being common factors that influence gameplay in order to ensure a feeling of fairness for everybody involved. Expect gratuitous use of {{Comeback Mechanic}}s. |
18 | |
19 | The term is also used more loosely to describe games that are really fun to have at a party. This label doesn't have a strict definition, but multiplayer (obviously) and accessibility are two important criteria. Things like ''VideoGame/RockBand'' and ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' fall under this category. |
20 | |
21 | Either way, these are far more common [[MediaNotes/PCVsConsole on consoles than on PCs]] because during the SDTV era, few [=PCs=] were equipped to use four controllers and a large monitor. |
