Super Mario Drinking Board Game Rules

The Super Mario Drinking Game Rulebook

To view the game board, check out our main page for the Mario Drinking Game here.

How to Play

Players start by choosing their character. Then choose a game piece and place it on the start square. It can be anything at all that fits on the game board. Choose a player to start the game. Turn order is clockwise. On their turn a player rolls the die then moves that many spaces and does what the space says. Make sure to follow the arrows. Players must stop on golden boss spaces, ending their roll. If a player has already beaten a golden space however, they can roll through it next time. If you enter star world don’t panic! No more rolling for movement just do what the space says until you’re back on the game board. If anyone rolls a 6 for their movement, instead of moving they must use their ability. First player to reach the middle wins the game.

If you are moved or teleported to a new space on your turn, you must do the action of the new space immediately. If you’re moved during someone else’s turn you don’t have to do the action. The only exception to this rule is when using a warp pipe you don’t immediately use it again on the other side.

Players cannot be moved off of Star World spaces by other players. They can however be moved off of regular golden boss spaces.

 

The Characters.

Mario – On a 6 Mario hops forward. Move up 1 space and roll again.

Luigi – On a 6 Luigi is codependent. Move 2 spaces towards the closest opponent. Roll again.

Peach – On a 6 Peach floats. Move either 1,2 or 3 spaces. Your choice. (She is the only character who doesn’t get to roll again after her ability).

Toad – Who on earth picks Toad? On a six drink and rethink your life. Roll again.
