Where are my Internets?
One-of-a-kind DYI-style indie board game, simple but challenging.
Contrary to what you may (and I did) think at first, it’s really hard to play with a single character; but it has a special achievement for winning exactly that type of a game. Some of the encounters are purely fictional, and it’s weird in a funny way to see this in a setting based around searching for (and actually installing) a satellite dish-provided Wi-Fi in some rural area.
All in all, funny little adventurous thing, best played in hot-seat mode!

Cute Board Game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw8ASYH1YJg
[Disclaimer, I played this Solo, it is probably more fun with friends locally]
- Visually the game looks pretty adorable with cute drawn artwork that looks more or less like a hand-made board game.
-
Far too RNG based. The entire game is based off pure luck, there is little to no real strategy or decisions for the player to make, every outcome is based on the dice roll.
-
The gameplay is too simple and repetitive. You roll, land on a tile, fight a monster, if you win you get money or an item you can sell. That is about all there is to the entire game… if you land in the city you can pay to put up internet. Once you get enough money from fighting, and get internet in every town you win… I could not find anything fun, really lacks any real challenge.

Since there are 5 party games in one game I’m going to be reviewing them all and thankfully for me, I have tried out all the games whether that be sacrificing my friends' time to play some of these games or playing it with my family members.
Let’s first start off with Quiplash 2: Whether it be family members, college mates or steam users this game is crowned as the best thing in existence. This just like the first predecessor is really fun and enjoyable, there are lot of new things that haven’t been introduced in the first game, such as the fact that you can create your own prompts, I have so far 2 episodes I made with a lot of crazy prompts such as “help! A gargoyle stole my cheese pizza”. There’s also new weird characters that you randomly play as such as a weird turqoise cat or a gray vampire coffin or a yellow (demonic voiced?) star. They also changed The Last Lash level, instead of getting a prompt you’re given either an acro prompt, a comic prompt or a word prompt and not only that players award the answers in medals so that is something new.

What is the Jackbox Party Pack and how do I play it?:
Each edition of the Jackbox Party Pack contains five minigames. To play, only one person needs to own the game. That person needs to either stream it on a monitor if you’re playing with friends in the same room, or stream it via Twitch / Discord Screen Share etc. Players then watch the stream while entering answers to prompts via the website jackbox.tv on their mobile device or pc browser.

Ooh boy, here we go. A party pack with a MIXED review? Well, lets dive in!
YOU DON’T KNOW JACK: FULL STREAM: (1-8 players)
The game with High culture and Pop culture collide! Not to sell out to Binjpipe or anything, but I had a bunch of fun with this game. Being my first dive into the YDKJ games, I had fun with most of it. The questions are weird, the few times I had other people in game the screws get super wacky, and Dis or Dat is a pretty fun question type. Which leads into the worst thing about it: question types. Most of them are good, except for one. The flickerpiss nosecum gibberish question. God damn I hated this so much. It was just super annoying, and after 20 of these fuckers, I FINALLY got one right. (Wont feta bread slugs fight: Don’t let the bed bugs fight) And another problem I had is that most people don’t really do JackBox for the Trivia games anymore. I mean Trivia Murder Party was pretty good, but that’s as far as most people will go with short attention spans. Good thing it supports 1 players, since that’s the majority of my time playing this game was with myself.

Gobby McGobblenutz Presents: The Art of the Dad Joke: Chapter 1
I love Dad Jokes and this did not disappoint!! This was a great distraction from what is going on in our world right now!! Thanks to the developers of this silly game!! Totally worth the small amount I paid. 3
BTw My secret word was WTF and I got 186 points!!
– Real player with 1.1 hrs in game
Okay, this was amazing LMAO
I’m a big fan of stupid humor and there were a few jokes I’ve heard before, but even one or two new ones is well worth the low pricetag. I’ve already sent a few of these jokes to my sister and best friend and they were dying. lol
And there’s like, hundreds of jokes here. Really can’t complain at all, thoroughly satisfied with this one! :)
Woops forgot to put my word in my review, haha.
The word it gave me was Ridiculous.
I love it!

The Jackbox Party Pack 7
Word Spud.
Lie Swatter.
Civic Dodole.
Zeeple Dome.
Joke Boat.
They’ve been waiting for a year for their new member.
They will have to keep waiting.
There are no bad games here.
Champ’d Up is a real treat for people who love to draw, and even people that only draw black and white stick figures can join in and stand a chance. So much unintentional humour - and a lot of fun to be had by trying for some humour if you can guess your opponent’s prompt and make a deconstruction of it. You get to keep your drawings for the next game if you play with the same players, too! Compared to Tee K.O., it feels like a better flow because you draw two things at a time and every drawing is used at least once, possibly more because there’s four drawings and six rounds per person (and again, they can be used in the next game.) Also includes the best part of Bracketeering with none of its bad.

No disclaimer about the fact that I’m European this time around. This Jackbox Party Pack has a Filter for US-Centric content, to make it accessible to the broader audience around the world. Definitely a welcomed addition. You might still note that all of those games were played with the aforementioned option turned on.
Do I recommend the Jackbox Party Pack 7?
- YES, GET IT AT ALL COSTS!!
Individual game review:
Quiplash 3:
-
A classic of the Jackbox Games.
-
The best of all.

What The Dub?!
Overall, my gaming group loves it as an addition to the Jackbox stuff.
It is very well done and fun! You can make it as clean or as dirty as you like which means everyone can play. The clips are weird and esoteric enough that most people won’t know where they’re from and that is perfect. I hope they add more.
I do have some minor suggestions, though.
Something more for the audience to do. Maybe they could throw out suggestions on screen or something. Just a thought. Being in the audience can be boring at times. I know more players would mean more repeating clips, but maybe have the game know when there are more than 6 and only use short clips for that game so it doesn’t get too monotonous.
– Real player with 8.8 hrs in game
As an English teacher during this seemingly never-ending pandemic, thank you for this game! It’s so simple to set up and incorporate What the Dub into online lessons via Zoom, Microsoft Teams etc that I’d recommend it to any and all ESL teachers.
The included video clips manage to be both humorous in their dubbing potential whilst also being relatively simple in terms of their language that it allows students who are A2 level and above to reliably produce clever, funny or appropriately wacky sentences. Moreover, the simplicity of the game makes it suitable for everyone over the age of 10 and the price is very fair for what’s offered.

DICETINY: The Lord of the Dice
This game is actually (and rather surprisingly) good. The only bad part is the writing - it’s full of memes & pop-culture references & lolrandom stuff, so it comes out as rather tryhard-ish. But visuals, on the other hand, are pretty good (even the memes - lots of art is based on them) so, as long as you skip the text, it’s not very annoying. I’ll stress on this - the lead artist of this game is really talented and it’s joyful to look on his works.
But the most important part is that the core gameplay is rock solid. Yeah, you draw cards, sure, you roll dice, but the game is anything but random - all the abilities, deckbuilding, equip system (that one is badly explained in-game - basically, you pay points for the card now so later you can cast this card with a discount; great in early game and for expensive combos which are impossible otherwise; like, say, Juggernaut + Here’s Johnny = whipe all minions on the board) and just the right plays allow you to prevail literally no matter what. The game is not very hardcore, but also isn’t too easy - I say that the difficulty is just about right.
– Real player with 27.4 hrs in game
A solid game for the price. The game occasionally crashed for me but I was still able to finish it without major problems. The writing/humor won’t appeal to everyone, but the dice + cards mechanic is surprisingly fun given the limited level/board size. If it sounds interesting, I recommend you give it a look, especially on sale.
The deck design provides a decent amount of choice and options. Cards earn a little slowly at first but soon enough you accumulate enough currency to buy what you want. A minor complaint is that you can’t use cards across multiple characters. Having to pick up extra copies just to outfit secondary decks was mildly annoying.

Drawgaem
What if I tell that there is more than just drawing and guessing? sounds stupid right? well, the stupidity is finally here.
“Stupid stupid stupid” - Big guns man
There are new gaemmodes around!
X new GAEMMODES
-
Drawphone - [description]
-
Vote mode (carps against humanity)
-
Hotseat mode (zone war) (EVERYONE IN ONE CANVAS!!!!)
-
Competition mode
And many many minigaems and interactions
Wondering how these minigaems work? well, it’s simple
-
During a match you will pick a word
-
Then you will start drawing
-
Then you keep drawing while a lot of stuff tries to get you down, like ants, rain, wind, flies, your friends, your fear of failing, your parents' disappointment, your pencil breaking, your canvas flipping around…
-
and then wait for your friends to guess
See? very simple!
You think we’re out of features?
“Negative” - Counter-attack: Worldwide globally ofended Counter-protester
There are still a couple more!
SAVE YOUR DRAWINGS

We got you covered
Here is it… But I would re-consider your career goals
How did I find it?
Good question!
Basically, Every match is instantly saved for you to revisit, which makes picking on your friends way easier, trust me.
Our drawing tools are very helpful for every level of artist out there! Their words, not mine:

Hey there day-dreamers, this button will save your

-but that wouldn’t explain how Dumbo got lost, right?)
