I recognize your truth.
I just can't comprehend it. Even Mario Party has strategies to manipulate the RNG in your favor.
Bonus stars come from a set of categories, and it picks so many at random to award. But you can play to win as many categories as possible to maximize your chance at bonus stars.
The dice rolls are solvable, to minimize your chance of getting bad spaces. Sure you can't always avoid a bad space, but if space x ahead of you is bad, and you have dice that can't roll that number, pick those dice. Or if all your dice can roll that number, pick the one least likely to do so.
Sure, you can spend the last turn choosing a split path direction to pick a red or happening space for a better chance of that possible bonus star if you've been mentally counting the spaces everyone lands on like counting cards in blackjack. An x% chance of reaching the star next turn with double dice if nothing ridiculous happens. The usual.
You can also win most of the minigames among your couch buddies and still end up rolling 1s and 2s for movement in the first 4 rounds, just like queuing up on Lichess against other 500s for 4 straight games as black and dealing with Wayward Queens. Yeah, you remember how to play against it by the fourth match, but it's better just to treat it like a dice game lol
