Following the format of previous ''Mario Party'' titles, ''Mario Party 8'' combines the social, strategic gameplay of traditional board games with quick, action-oriented [[minigame]]s. To win a party, a player must obtain the most [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]s by the end of the last turn. Additionally, players collect and win [[coin]]s to trade them for Stars, buy [[Candy (Mario Party 8)|Candy]], and trigger special events on the board. Each board has a unique way of obtaining Stars, though most require finding a unique [[Star Space]] and trading a certain number of coins for one. | Following the format of previous ''Mario Party'' titles, ''Mario Party 8'' combines the social, strategic gameplay of traditional board games with quick, action-oriented [[minigame]]s.
