Mario Party is your typical four-player, dice-rolling game board, while Partner Play is a special 2 vs 2 version of the same format. It will also let you play 70 minigames with your friends.

Players can host a public game or "set up a password for a private party." It might be a bit late, but it's an excellent solution for a lot of us still stuck at home without being able to see friends.
