- “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.
