12	->''"I've always questioned Mario's definition of party. Apparently in the Mushroom Kingdom a 'party' is defined as a random string of tasks through which one risks their life for coins, then spends said coins on stars so that they may be declared the 'winner'."''

15	A genre of game that took off with the release of ''VideoGame/MarioParty1'' on the Platform/Nintendo64. A party game is a [[MinigameGame minigame collection]] where two to four players compete against each other in a {{board game\|s}}-like environment. This is not a rigid rule though; party games can have board gameplay, but no minigames, and vice-versa (see MinigameGame for more examples of the latter).
16
17	Because those games encourage fun over competition, rarely do they require much skill to play, with luck and chance being common factors that influence gameplay in order to ensure a feeling of fairness for everybody involved. Expect gratuitous use of {{Comeback Mechanic}}s.
18
19	The term is also used more loosely to describe games that are really fun to have at a party. This label doesn't have a strict definition, but multiplayer (obviously) and accessibility are two important criteria. Things like ''VideoGame/RockBand'' and ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' fall under this category.
20
21	Either way, these are far more common [[MediaNotes/PCVsConsole on consoles than on PCs]] because during the SDTV era, few [=PCs=] were equipped to use four controllers and a large monitor.
