Party Cruise boards award Stars differently

Windmillville’s paths circle windmills and raised grassy islands.

Grand Canal uses a moving 20-coin Star. Pagoda Peak escalates the summit price, Neon Heights hides rewards in chests, and Windmillville awards Stars for investments.

Solo Cruise changes the winning condition

A board’s solo objective may replace a long Star contest with a target race. Read that objective before applying a Party Cruise route.

Solo Cruise goals

Grand CanalCollect two StarsTarget race
Pagoda PeakPay 100 coins at the summitOne expensive purchase
Pyramid ParkRecover the stolen Star and return itRetrieval objective
Neon HeightsCollect three StarsTreasure race
WindmillvilleRepair three windmillsRepair objectives
Bowser’s Enchanted Inferno!Get a Star then win Bowser’s Lovely Lift!Boss finish

Bowser Time recurs during the board

Its gauge fills every five turns and triggers board-specific disruption. The final four turns use a separate event, so the rhythm changes near the end.

Investments remain vulnerable

A rival can outbid a windmill contribution and take its Stars. Keep enough coins to defend useful properties instead of treating an investment as permanently secured.
