Slide! Throw! Snow Party Review
We love the Party Party Time games, so when they released a Snow Party we had to try it out. The games are fun, what little of them there were. Party Party Time games are known for being fun collection of mini games. Great for a party or playing games with friends.
Slide! Throw! Snow Party Time is the newest edition to a, so far, great series of party games. I was a bit surprised there were only 10 minigames. Most editions in the series have dozens of games. The simplicity of the games is usually made up for by the sheer volume of games included.
Snow Party is a bit different from their usual formula. There were only 10 minigames total, all with a winter or snow theme. The minigames themselves would be at home in any of the Party Party Time editions. The games themselves were great but we had come to expect a larger volume of games included.
It’s hard to be disappointed considering the low price. If you like Party Party Time and winter games then it’s definitely worth checking out.
Why Snow Party Time?
Anyone who likes party games is going to enjoy Snow Party Time. There’s snowball fights, snowboarding, hockey, and treasure hunt games to name a few. If you enjoy winter themed games then Snow Party is one you should try.
This is an ideal game for anyone who enjoys party games. While you can play solo vs computers, this game is great with 2 or more players. Party Party Time games usually creates a separate class of games as co-op. There’s just 10 games in this version, none were distinctly co-op games.
If you only want co-op games, then Snow Party might not appeal to you. You can choose to help each other in some games if you want, but at the end of the day individual scores determine the winner.
How We tested Snow Party.
Really Loud Librarians isn’t very difficult to learn. The basic premise is simple and anyone can be good at this game. Our group thoroughly enjoyed playing this game.
We tested this game with 4 and 5 players. We played with a standard Nintendo Switch with a mix of joycons and pro controllers on a 52 inch TV. Having a turbo button definitely gives players an advantage in certain games. For some games, dividing the screen 6 times does make each space fairly small but playable.
Comparable Games
Of course Snow Party is like ever other game in the Party Party Time series. Which is also similar to all the Mario Party games, such as Superstars, Jamboree, and all the numbered Mario Party games.
There are more than a few mini games that are identical among all these party games. In some cases, the Mario Party games are better, but in others the Party Party Time games are better. It’s a preference. Mario party has a lot of cut scenes, animations, and flash. While the Party Party Time games are straightforward. Sometimes, less is more.
There are also several unique mini games when comparing the games too. There’s usually a game for everyone. As far as price, the Mario games are extremely expensive for what they are. Whereas the Party Party Time games are affordable. Slide! Throw! Snow Party is reasonable priced for what it is.
Pros and Cons
My only criticism is the lack of co-op games. Or games overall, for that matter. Party Party Time games are known to come with 20 mini games and 10 co-op games. So to get only 10 snow themed mini games total is a slight let down.
Hockey was great. The snowball fight with each other was fun. The snowball fight with the snowmen was also fun. Downhill snowboarding was great. The penguin race was fun. Building a huge snowball was fun. Sledge hammers on ice was fun. Dodging falling icicles was great. Playing tag on ice was fun. Searching for hidden treasure in the snow was okay.
Review Summary
Overall, our Slide! Throw! Snow Party game review gives it 7 out of 10 stars. We had a great time playing this game. All but one game was a lot of fun, we just wish there were more games!
We’re a bit biased since we love the Party Party Time games, but Snow Party Time is a welcome addition to our gaming library. No regrets.

I’m David M. I’ve been playing video games a long time, my pong game was fire. Now, my kids run circles around me but we always have a good time. We mostly play party and family games. Strategy and battle games are still among my favorites. I like writing about games almost as much as I do playing them. My favorite games are: Moving Out 2, Out of Space and Overcooked All You Can Eat.
