'''Faire Square''' is one of the boards in ''[[Mario Party 6]]''. It is named after the phrase "fair and square". Faire Square is a lit town with many buildings and Halloween decorations. A [[Whomp]] blocks a path in the middle of the board, and charges ten coins for any characters who wish to pass.
'''Faire Square''' is a board in ''[[Mario Party 6]]''. Its buildings are European fairy-tale style, while the board suggests a fall-theme fairground with [[wikipedia:Jack-o'-lantern|jack-o'-lantern]] decorations, gift carts, clown-themed [[Orb hut]]s, and games of chance or tricks. The background music for this board also invokes a festive, but subdued mood, as if the town is readying for a big event later.


There are only four ? Spaces on this board. Landing on the one on the top-left building makes a broom fly out of the window and takes the player somewhere on the center of the board. The two ? Spaces on the top-right building will make players go inside, and they are somehow taken back to start. The ? Space at the top of the board will start a game of chance that involves all players. During the day, players give up ten [[coin]]s each. Then, one by one, they choose the chimney which they think will produce the tallest plant. When all are picked, the plants reveal themselves, and the tallest plant gives the player that picked it all the coins that were put in the pot. At night, the game is the same, but players give up one [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] each. The winner ends up with all the Stars given.
There is a fixed space in the center where players can go to receive up to five [[Star (Mario Party series)|Stars]]. [[Brighton]] charges 20 coins per Star during the while, while [[Twila]] charges either 5, 10, 30, or 40 coins at night, determined by a [[Dice Block]] roll.


Other events happen depending on the time of day, too. When players go by the big chest at the left side of the board, they are given the choice of paying coins to play the slot game. The price is 5 coins during the day, with small coin prizes, and ten at night, with higher coin prizes. Players that line up three treasure chests will get all the coins that were saved up from players' past payments (this is similar to the [[Koopa Bank]] from previous [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' games]]). On the right side of the board is a hat shell game called the Star Shuffle. Players pay one Star to play. The Star is placed in one of the hats, and they will shuffle around for a while. During the day, there are three hats to choose from that shuffle slowly, and guessing correctly rewards the player with two Stars. At night, there are 6 hats that shuffle quickly, and if the player guesses right, they will get three Stars. If the player makes a wrong choice in either day or night versions, they lose that Star. The main feature concerning the day/night system is at the center of the board, for this is where players can get Stars. During the day, Stars are personally given away by [[Brighton]] himself, and he will charge players twenty coins per Star. At night, [[Twila]] gives out Stars for a random price that she decides by hitting a [[Dice Block]]. The prices are either five, ten, thirty, or forty coins. Both times, players can purchase up to five stars if they have enough coins, but having enough coins to buy more still puts the cap at five.
There are only four ? Spaces on this board:
*On the top-left building, a broom flies out of the window and takes the player to the center, where they can land a space either before or after the area where Stars are purchased.
*The top-right building has two ? Spaces that teleport any player who lands on them back to the start, from the central building.
*At the top of the board, a game of chance starts, with players giving up ten [[coin]]s each (one Star during the night) before choosing which building will produce the tallest plant. After the plants are revealed, the winning player is given all of the coins bet.
 
Other events include a [[Whomp]] blocking a path in the middle, requiring that players pay ten coins to pass. The left side of the board has a chest building featuring a slot game on the Luck Wheel, costing five coins during the day but ten coins at night for smaller or higher potential prizes from lining three treasure chests, respectively.
 
There is a hat shell game titled the Star Shuffle on the right side, where a player bets one Star, which shuffles around in one of three hats slowly (six move at night quickly). The reward for guessing correctly is two Stars in the day or three at night; otherwise, they lose the Star.

Brighton, Mario Party 6

Faire Square is a board in Mario Party 6. Its buildings are European fairy-tale style, while the board suggests a fall-theme fairground with jack-o'-lantern decorations, gift carts, clown-themed Orb huts, and games of chance or tricks. The background music for this board also invokes a festive, but subdued mood, as if the town is readying for a big event later.

There is a fixed space in the center where players can go to receive up to five Stars. Brighton charges 20 coins per Star during the while, while Twila charges either 5, 10, 30, or 40 coins at night, determined by a Dice Block roll.

There are only four ? Spaces on this board:

  • On the top-left building, a broom flies out of the window and takes the player to the center, where they can land a space either before or after the area where Stars are purchased.
  • The top-right building has two ? Spaces that teleport any player who lands on them back to the start, from the central building.
  • At the top of the board, a game of chance starts, with players giving up ten coins each (one Star during the night) before choosing which building will produce the tallest plant. After the plants are revealed, the winning player is given all of the coins bet.

Other events include a Whomp blocking a path in the middle, requiring that players pay ten coins to pass. The left side of the board has a chest building featuring a slot game on the Luck Wheel, costing five coins during the day but ten coins at night for smaller or higher potential prizes from lining three treasure chests, respectively.

There is a hat shell game titled the Star Shuffle on the right side, where a player bets one Star, which shuffles around in one of three hats slowly (six move at night quickly). The reward for guessing correctly is two Stars in the day or three at night; otherwise, they lose the Star.
