From my understanding the least random one would probably be Mario Party 10. You move around as a group, which in my opinion, takes the fun out of the experience. That’s all I really know about it though, haven’t played it myself for that exact reason. It still has mini games from what I understand. Hoping someone else here can provide more feedback on this, as I wouldn’t mind more info on it.

Which version of Mario Party are you and your friends playing out of curiosity?

If we’re also including more recent games, the first Mario Party for the Switch might fit the bill a bit from how the joycons have to be used. That should be Super Mario Party if I remember right. There’s still a good amount of luck involved, but movement is key so that definitely includes skill.

We mostly play Super Mario Party and tried Jamboree as well on Switch. I haven’t really played other ones even though I lived through those prior generations. So maybe I’m just an irredeemable grumpy buzzkill.

  Ah, so you’ve already played that one then? Hmm, the only other thing I could think of would be what one of the other comments said about turning off bonus stars and upping the difficulty for mini-games.
  
  It could also be that you want to find a different type of party game like you mentioned. A few friends of mine have occasionally talked about a game called Donkapon Kingdom (think I spelled it right); I don’t know if that’s more luck or skill based though.

  I relate to this quite a bit. I dropped off Mario Party after the second game had come out because at the time, I’d had my fill of it. Didn’t play any of the GameCube games or MP3 until this past decade. I would recommend playing MP6 from the GC if you decide to try it. You can get trap based items to set on the board; some temporary, others permanent. Definitely becomes more strategic IMO. It’s why I like it so much honestly.
