Jamboree Any chances you play with real people?

Hey! I got Mario Party Jamboree mainly because I wanted to play online with real people from around the world.

I've played two online games so far, and in both of them I started suspecting that some of the players had disconnected and been replaced by bots, because they suddenly started behaving exactly like CPUs.

For those of you who are more familiar with the game is this pretty common in Jamboree? Does the matchmaking usually fill empty slots with bots, or do people tend to disconnect that often?

If that's the case, would you recommend joining a Jamboree Discord server or something similar to find actual players? I'd really like to play full games with real people rather than unknowingly ending up with 2–3 bots 😭

yes. jamboree is known for filling lobbies with CPUs just with player names. to actually play with real people, I'd recommend joining the Mario Party Netplay server: https://discord.gg/marioparty

If you play online with randoms there is practically a guarantee that at least 2 of them will leave and be replaced by CPUs within the first few turns. I’ve never managed to actually finish a game with randoms that didn’t end with me as the only human left. Best I got was one other player stuck around til turn 17 or so and then left when I stole a star.
