'''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 made a broom fly out of the window and took the player somewhere on the center of the board. The two ? Spaces on the top-right building made players go inside, and were somehow taken back to start. The ? Space at the top of the board started a game of chance that involved all players. During the day, players gave up ten [[coin]]s each. Then, one by one, they chose the chimney which they thought would produce the tallest plant. When all were picked, the plants revealed themselves, and the tallest plant gave the player that picked it all the coins that was put in the pot. At night, the game was the same, but players gave up one [[Star]] each. The winner ended 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.

There are only four ? Spaces on this board:
Other things happened depending on the time of day too. During the day when players came by the big chest at the left side of the board, they were given the choice of paying coins to play the slot game. The price was 5 coins during the day, with small coin prizes, and ten at night, with higher coin prizes. Players that lined up three coin bags got all the coins that was 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 was a hat shell game called the Star Shuffle. Players paid one Star to play. The Star was placed in one of the hats, and they shuffled around for a while. During the day, there were three hats to choose from that shuffled slowly, and guessing correctly rewarded the player with two Stars. At night, there were 6 hats that shuffled fast, and if the player guessed right, they got three Stars. If the player made a wrong choice in either day or night versions, they lost that Star. The main feature concerning the day/night system was the center of the board, for this is where players got the stars. During the day, the Stars were personally given away by [[Brighton]] himself, and he charged players twenty coins per Star. At night, [[Twila]] gave out the Stars for a random price that she decides by hitting a [[Dice Block]]. The prices ranged from five coins to forty. Also, players were given the option to purchase up to five Stars at once providing that they had enough coins.
*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.


==Trivia==
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.
*In the Japanese version of the game, Faire Square is referred to as "'''Fortune Town'''".
 
*This town is quite possibly named after the phrase "fair and square".
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.

“Welcome to Faire Square! Here at Faire Square, you can win coins and Stars playing games of luck! This isn’t a regular Star Space. You always buy Stars here instead! You can buy up to five Stars if you’ve got enough coins! Star prices change between day and night, so be sure to buy them when they’re cheap!”
—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.
