The Prinny Party: Going Overboard! party has arrived

For he's a jolly evil fellow...

Prinny Party: Going Overboard! is now available to enjoy on Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC, publisher NIS America announced today in a press release. It's priced at £29.99 or equivalent on the various platforms.

As you might have gathered from the title, Prinny Party: Going Overboard! is a party game set in the world of the Disgaea games. Up to four players can participate in rousing matches that combine those lively characters with a board game experience.

According to the press release, players will seek to defeat Supreme Overboard Laharl and his Protago-Knights, which they accomplish by playing the game. They move around the board, earning experience and acquiring more powerful gear that might let them stand a chance against one of the most powerful beings in the Netherworld (who is most definitely not a mid-boss; this has been covered in the past).

The game's key features are as follows:

Huck, Chuck, Boom!: Pick up and throw your friends, enemies, and frenemies to put things in their place. As always, be careful when handling Prinnies!

Build a Better Tomorrow: By landing on a build space, you can build and upgrade facilities, such as hospitals or armouries. Just remember: other players will be able to shop there, too!

It Pays to Pass Some Bills: Triple your damage, move again, or build a cannon capable of wiping out even the most powerful demons. Everything is possible when you pass bills at the Assembly!

The player character stands on an Entry space on turn 43, with a giant green statue behind her.Two characters meet on a single space, including Laharl, who is made even stronger by the encounter.Laharl stands on a space, arms folded, as numbers representing stat boosts rise up along his left side.Looking at stats for Disgaea, the protagonist in the original Disgaea, who is listed in this game as a Supreme Overboard.Laharl's magical flaming meteors rain down on the board as blackness swirls around the spaces.A menu shows Player 4 options they might take on their turn, with a warning that it is Boss Time!

That all sounds absolutely thrilling to someone like me, who has a weak spot for board games like Monopoly, and for multiplayer adventures like Dokapon Kingdom, and for the Disgaea franchise in general. It's like this one was made for me.
