    I was chess club president for several years back in my high school. Now, as a 500-rated player and lifelong Mario Party connoisseur, I can guarantee you that both games feel like RNG even if I put the neurons to use.

      I recognize your truth.

      I just can’t comprehend it. Even Mario Party has strategies to manipulate the RNG in your favor.

      Bonus stars come from a set of categories, and it picks so many at random to award. But you can play to win as many categories as possible to maximize your chance at bonus stars.

      The dice rolls are solvable, to minimize your chance of getting bad spaces. Sure you can’t always avoid a bad space, but if space x ahead of you is bad, and you have dice that can’t roll that number, pick those dice. Or if all your dice can roll that number, pick the one least likely to do so.
