| | The Armchair Empire - Classic Gaming: Mario Party 3 |
 | | The first two Mario Party games, which are essentially home console board games, have proven to be big hits for Nintendo, so it was inevitable we would see another sequel. |
 | | If you have never played a Mario Party game, up to four players set out by rolling dice and moving their selected player around the board, collecting coins, buying objects and collecting, buying or stealing (from other players) the ultimate goal: stars. |
 | | In MP3, coins really serve no purpose outside of the board game play, when you can use them to buy in-game items such as the Warp Block, Boo Bell, Skeleton Key, or Bowser Phone, which can help you turn the balance of the game to your character if they are used strategically. |
