My wife hated the game until she collected three regular stars on the same turn during a Flash Sale (Rainbow Galleria, Mario Party Jamboree)
My wife hated the game because she usually got horrible luck. Chance time made her cry once. So we tried Pro Rules to remove a lot of the luck-based stuff. Started Rainbow Galleria.
Her turn, flash sales started. She already had a golden pipe and a boo bell as her items that she kept for the last turns. Last item was mushroom.
She used the mushroom and rolled 9, getting 14 turns. Collected a star in front of her for 10 coins.
Next star spawned that turned out to be close within her range. She kept moving, reached it, collected it for 10 coins.
Next star spawned (one tile away from the Bowser Jr Computer, two tiles away from me - literally in front of us, as If we were lining Up for it). With her remaining moves she went past me, past Bowser Jr, reached the star and collected it for 10 more coins.
In later turns she also used the golden pipe and boo bell too, of course. Then she even got the bonus star (Slowpoke... somehow). She won with 11 stars.
Now she wants to play every day.
