Mario Party Forum Style (MPFS to be short) is a game created by Dark Boo. This game is a remake of the Mario Party Series you all know but with minor and major tweaks. The 1st game of MPFS began at Mario Party Legacy Forum in late November of 2010. It was Dark Boo's 1st time hosting a game on a forum, and it became a success; so when the 1st game ended, many more came after.
Overall Gameplay
The rules are extremely easy. Whoever obtains the most stars in a set number of turns wins the game. If tied with stars, it's whoever has the most coins. In the start of MPFS, there was only one way of getting a star. You would go to a star space, and buy the star for 20 coins. This rule was strictly applied to MPFS 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5; whereas starting from MPFS 6, the way to obtain a star changed depending on the board (see Board Maps for more detail).
Each MPFS Board Map has its own way of obtaining a star, so make sure you read the rules when you join a game of MPFS. When the games have commenced, everyone will receive 10 coins. The movement is simple as well. The number you roll is chosen by a random atmospheric pressure website. You will all move on your own, and you may go at any time, but you must acknowledge who goes first, since that's what makes an impact of your turn.
After everyone has taken their turn, their panel color will change to either red or blue, and that will decide what team you're on. After that has taken place, a mini-game will commence. Once the mini-game is done, you may take your next turn. We also have a nice assortment of cards (items) that you can use for your advantage. After the game has reached its 'Last 5 Turns', a special event may happen, that will alter the game drastically. After the game has ended, we tally up the scores, and give out 3 Bonus Stars to fortunate players, based on their stats for the game. Finally, after doing all of this, we decide who is the Winner of the game!!!
Board Maps
Up to this date, there are a total of 9 MPFS Board Maps and each one has an unique way and it is listed from oldest to youngest so that you can see the work that has been put into each board and see how the game upgraded along with each game of MPFS.
MPFS 3, MPFS 4, and MPFS 5 revived classic boards, but with different rules on how to get a star - this was the start of objectives that a player needed to fulfill in order to get a star. From MPFS 6 through MPFS 12, there has an unique way of obtaining a star.

Mario Party Forum Style: Adventure

MPFS Adventure has a very similar style to Mario Party 9, you go around a board to collect the most Mini Stars (Yes, Mini Stars is the new currency in MPFSA), and at the end, you will enter a Boss Battle and fight the leader of the board to win a bunch of Mini Stars.
