It has often been discussed here that the boards have now been changed considerably. I have all the Mario Party games since the beginning and love has always been. I have to give the people right here: The game boards to play solo is certainly not very amusing. I bought it mainly to play with my little sister on the download mode and that's pretty damn funny. But I also regret, however, that the stars were abolished and it would find absolutely great if they would install retro boards ... Conclusion: For the collector, the solo version also OK, but just buy it is if more 3DS players can share the game. Because it's absolutely gorgeous.
