How To Become A Mario Party MASTER (And Lose All Your Friends)

Designing For is a series which looks at one specific level, character, or idea in gaming and breaks down the central theme to that element to figure out what it's, well, designing for! In this episode, we tackle the Mario Party series. Long thought to be purely luck based, instead, we teach you how to WIN by manipulating your friends, what to focus on in how to get better, and how to enhance your Mario Party experience to its highest level.
