Mario Party 8

There are six boards in all: the jungle-based DK’s Treetop Temple, King Boo’s Haunted Hideaway, Shy Guy’s Mystery Train, the seaside Goomba’s Booty Boardwark, Bowser’s Warped Vortex and Koopa’s Tycoon Town, which is themed around hotels.

Each one brings slightly different rules, such as the ever-irritating ability to steal stars from opponents and the option to switch places with the top-ranked player on the very last throw of the dice (see how we’ve suffered at the hands of Mario Party in the past?). But the minigames remain constant.
