Mario Party 2 game

Mario Party 2 is that classic N64 game where you and your friends spend half the time laughing and the other half screaming at each other over stolen stars. You pick a character—I always go for Yoshi—and then it’s all about rolling dice, moving across these wild themed boards (the Wild West one is my favorite), and getting dragged into ridiculous mini-games. Some are pure luck, others need quick reflexes, and a few are just chaotic enough that you’ll end up elbowing your buddy by accident.

It’s got that perfect mix of strategy and nonsense—like, sure, you can save up coins for a star, but then someone lands on a Bowser space and suddenly half your cash is gone. The mini-games are the real stars though, from button-mashing races to memory challenges that make you realize none of you actually paid attention. Best played with at least three people, ideally with snacks and zero grudges carried over after the game ends.

Still holds up as one of the best party games, even after all these years.
