Fun and relaxed board game style game.
Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival Admittedly, this game surpassed my expectations. It is another Nintendo Party Game, in a board game style format. This is in the same vein as the Mario Party and Fortune Street. Unlike these games however, Amiibo Festival is much more relaxed and non-competitive. A single game lasts for a single month (roughly 30 rounds) of one's choosing and can take up to 45 minutes depending on the number of players. Each day (round), a new character comes in with a new event. The characters collect happiness points and money (bells) throughout the month. In the end, the character with the highest happiness amount wins. The money is converted in the end to happiness. Every week however, the game offers players the ability to participate in the "Stalk Market", where they can invest in turnips for a potential boost in money. I found that the optimized player can use this to hold an advantage. This added a fun aspect to the weekly games. All in all, the game does a good job of translating to a board game format, while keeping the Animal Crossing feel of the game. In addition to the main board game, there are other mini games to keep players occupied. I found the game to be fun, except for one incident when my younger brother landed on a space that forced him to forfeit his entire monetary savings into the sea. It completely ruined the game for him, and seemed uncharacteristic of the game in general. The board appears to stay the same shape and style. Other party games allow the player to change the map shape entirely. The only customization is the month you play, resulting in different activities and imagery (which does reflect Animal Crossing as a series). I personally prefer a party game with a little more action, change, and tension. The game does completely deliver as an Animal Crossing board game, retaining all aesthetic of the original game series and packaged with two nice looking Amiibo. They are both good, but the original designs of the characters really come through as amiibo. In addition the game is also packaged with three Amiibo cards. With new cards, the game features new hosts for the game and unlocks new games.

Fun board game type game for AC fans
This game isn't like your traditional video game. It's really more of a digital board game that uses the amiibo figures as the actual characters. Gamers that aren't very familiar with the Animal Crossing franchise probably won't like it too much. But fans of it will find plenty of enjoyment. It's a relaxing game that also has some pretty good "mini games" too, but they do need amiibo cards (sold separately) to play them.

Great for families and relaxing
This game is the very definition of a video board game. The main game is essentially Life with an Animal Crossing twist. There is a nice meta-game involving turnips that gives the game an added layer of strategy. It's the perfect game to sit back and relax while trying to out score your opponent. Amiibos are used as game pieces and allow you to unlock additional outfits and emotes for your characters. If you don't have enough amiibos don't worry. Players can choose from a variety of villagers if they don't have an amiibo While the board game is the main feature there are a bunch of mini games that are played with cards. These games range from good to very poor but here are just an added bonus. It's a good deal for the price. You get the game, 2 amiibos (normally $13 a piece) and 3 amiibo cards. All in all its a great addition to family game night without the hassle of having all those pieces to clean up.
