Monster Jaunt

A great party game with strategic elements in place of random chance (found in some other games). A good number of minigames with clever ideas. The game plays well with remote play together + voice chat.

Fun couch game with addicting mini games. The monsters are very cute and the concept is both fun and strategic. We mainly keep playing for the mini games, though! Some unique ideas that are executed well. Definitely easy to play with friends or by yourself against the AI (which are surprisingly challenging).

Good bits: VARIETY OF MINIGAMES - memory, quick-hands, battle, racing. If you're a Mario Party fan like me you'll remember that Platform Peril was pretty much the same as Skateboard Scamper. Same for Coin Block Bash/Coin Block Blitz, Tug of War/Paddle Battle, etc. Not so here! Each game is a different concept, no reskins. QUALITY OF MINIGAMES - some of these could be released on their own. Seriously. Physics are solid, haven't found any weird glitches. GRAPHICS - got that n64 feel as some other reviewers have noted. Eponymous monsters are very cute and charismatic. I want to be their friends. Not so good bits: CONTROLS - with the focus on variety comes a cost: some of these games may frustrate you the first time or the second time through, because the controls are different for all of them. MAP - pretty dull overall. It's not random but there aren't many choices to make, and you'll arrive at the optimal strategy pretty quickly and do it as fast as possible to get back to the minigames. I wish there were more monsters, so that there were no duplicates in a single game. Then it would feel more special to get one. Overall: Great game to play every once and a while with friends.

We only played one game, but my friends and I had a lot of fun with this. Fun throwback to old school Mario Party with its own unique twist in monster collecting. The old school graphics were a nice touch!

Fun minigame collection, board game is a better replacement than the mario party kind, no randomness, different types of minigames, definitely worth it

Goofy and silly (in a good way!) party game. Have friends laugh when a memory games comes up and tell you that you have a terrible memory. Then beat them at it anyways.

This is such a cute game! It's fast-paced, and the mini games are all fun (even though I'm bad at most of them lol). Also, so. many. puns.

Mini-game fun for you and your friends! - Mini-games are quick to learn and fun to play - Steam Remote Play works well with this and yields a fun experience even when you can't get everyone in a room together - Monsters are incredibly cute and have punny names - No stupid random end of game point awards like in some other mini-game party games - There is a penguin racing mini-game!

This game has that classic Nintendo couch party vibe. I've played it with a few different groups of people, and it seems to work well with both frequent and casual gamers. The minigames have a good amount of variety to them, and there's enough minigames to give it a plenty of replayability. One particularly nice touch is the adorable art of the hybrid creatures in the game. I've fallen in love with the panda/andaconda hybrid"pandaconda" and the fiery otter "magmotter". Favorite minigame: * Topagrathree Least favorite minigame: * Peng-winners and losers - racing games have never been my format of choice, so this minigame is not up my alley

I would heartily recommend Monster Jaunt for anyone looking for a new party game. The mini games give you a variety of challenges that mostly focus on skill and not pure chance. The board game is engaging and yet lightweight enough to be understood at a glance. Nearly the entire game allows for simultaneous play, so you don't lose engagement while someone else it taking their turn. The Remote Play Together integration works wonderfully, as expected. Being able to play a local game across the country with little detriment is a huge bonus feature for a game like this.
