May's Board Game Night: Mario Party Drinking Game! (Patreon)

Something a little different will be going down for the next Board Game Night! We'll be playing a drinking game with all NPC Mario Party 1, drinking based on our "team" or selected character's actions. As always, to participate all you need is to join the Discord voice chat, and an active Patreon or YouTube Membership.

Full rules at the bottom of the post.

The next board game night is May 4th at 3 PM US central time. (1 hour after this month's was supposed to start). The earlier start was supposed to make it easier for EU residents to join in, but it's actually had the opposite effect so we'll be starting a bit later as long as this works better.

As always, drink responsibly (or don't drink). The drinking game is highly informal and feel free to drink less per drink or stop entirely if you're getting too intoxicated, etc.

 The original game (the original game has an ableist name; don't worry, we won't be referring to it as that)

1. Get a copy of Mario Party, preferably an early N64 one (not tested on later entries in the series).
2. Put it on 4 computers on Easy. Characters and map can be whatever you want.
3. Get drinks.
4. Every person roots for a specific computer NPC. You cannot change who you root for mid-game.

A short drink when your character:

• Lands on a red space.
• Is first out of an elimination minigame or lowest on a score-based minigame
• Gets a poison mushroom
• Suffers generic setbacks (under 10 coins lost without any gain, sent to wrong part of map by a ? space)
• Decides to go the wrong way on the board
• Is 2nd place at the 5 turn remaining mark.

A long drink when your character:

• Loses 10 or more coins (Bowser, Boo, etc.)
• Is first out in a Battle Minigame (Mario Party 2 and on)
• Reaches a star but doesn’t have 20 coins.
• Is 3rd place at 5 turn mark.

Finish your drink when your character:

• Has a star stolen from them.
• Is last place at the 5 turn mark (these can be reversed if you want to make everyone more uniformly drunk, so 1st place finishes drink, 2nd long drink, 3rd short drink)
• Did not finish first at the end of the game.
