Sure, you can spend the last turn choosing a split path direction to pick a red or happening space for a better chance of that possible bonus star if you’ve been mentally counting the spaces everyone lands on like counting cards in blackjack. An x% chance of reaching the star next turn with double dice if nothing ridiculous happens. The usual.

You can also win most of the minigames among your couch buddies and still end up rolling 1s and 2s for movement in the first 4 rounds, just like queuing up on Lichess against other 500s for 4 straight games as black and dealing with Wayward Queens. Yeah, you remember how to play against it by the fourth match, but it’s better just to treat it like a dice game lol

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.

It’s the amount of time your computer opponent takes to make a move! I think Classical is played by an iMac G3. They’re really slow and sometimes crash mid-match.

OP is smrtr because he useded one bishop to get checkedate

The “I still have 3 more years, I can wait on everything I promised” look

Big ol’ cascade effect. Even back in late 2015, they made an update to old-gen release consoles (PS3, 360) that prevented users from loading directly into Online upon booting up the game. If you chose that option; endless load loop and an eventual crash. From that point on until forever, you had to load singleplayer and use the shoddy interface to select an Online game for your multiplayer character.

They have a history of ruining Online with every update. I can only imagine all of the problems that accumulated since then, if it is even playable at all on those consoles.
