'''Easy Pickings''' is a 1-vs.-3 [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. Its name is a pun on a term that refers to easily procured resources, often at the expense of others who are then called "easy pickings" themselves.

==Introduction==
The introduction shows the players riding minecarts through a mine to the area where the game takes place. When the players arrive there, they all break the rocks in their path.

==Gameplay==
The goal of the game is to find gems by smashing rocks. Red gems are worth one [[point]], and purple gems are worth three points. The dark rocks in the game cannot be broken. Both the solo player and team of three must smash rocks to win. However, the solo player uses a giant pickaxe, which breaks rocks with a single hit. Each member of the team of three uses a small pickaxe, which breaks rocks with three hits. The side that collects more gems within 30 seconds wins. However, if the solo player and the team of three get the same number of gems by the end, the game is a draw.

==Ending==
