The Jackbox Party Pack 8
Another great party pack. Each of the games is fun, my friend group gets the most laughs out of Job Job. With some of the games, you can go on the Jackbox TV site afterwards and order a ridiculous NSFW T-shirt with a line from one of the games you’ve played. If Jackbox has gone over well with your friends, Pack 8 won’t disappoint.

I was once with a jew and 7 muslims when I entered a bar in Bismarck, North Dakota. In case you didn’t know, this is the capital of South Dakota. And so, it was in this snowy summer day in Montana that I heard a client who looked drunk as fuck(lmao I’m rofling thinking about it), and he started explaining to me why the radical left partakes in speedrunning. Sadly, I did not get to hear his whole speech. I did, however, catch the end of it: “[…]in a petersonian sense, to elevate the alternatives in the sexual marketplace, open parenthesis, the fastest hedgehog, close parenthesis.” I did not understand a single word he said, and I still do not. I think he was on heroin, as well as substances such as: weed, marijuana, MJ, cannabis and the devil’s lettuce, among other things.

Roast Party
If you love hanging around with your friends and poking fun this is the best game! Even those who were nervous or considered themselves sweethearts got hooked on this idea and ran with it even harder than the rest of us. Somehow instead of destroying friendships we actually created some solid bonds! Can we deem this Roast Therapy ?

I never laughed so much at a game like this one, it’s quite amazing to see some prompts & pictures work really well each other along with some of the answers written down by the players, hope to see more games from these developers!

Rubber Bandits: Christmas Prologue
Fun PVP with friends. The game itself currently features three different maps to play, each having slightly different layouts. The matches are pretty quick (lasting a couple of minutes) and there is not a lot of stuff you are able to do besides fighting, BUT… When combined with friends, this game is a blast! It is fun and stupid, the more players play - the funnier it gets. And this is just a prologue, I cannot imagine how fun the full game will be

This game made me loose some laughts I haven’t lost in a while! Really fun to play with friends! Specially if you like the rival style of the game, that makes you compete harder with your friends. You can also switch teams and team up!
I can easily recommend this for all ages, it’s funny, practical and doesn’t take much to understand and to play!
It does not get any funnier than this! (Maybe on the full realease)

FROG X BIRD
Once upon a time a frog
Croaked away in Bingle Bog
Every night from dusk to dawn
He croaked awn and awn and awn
Other creatures loathed his voice,
But, alas, they had no choice,
And the crass cacophony
Blared out from the sumac tree
At whose foot the frog each night
Minstrelled on till morning night
Neither stones nor prayers nor sticks.
Insults or complaints or bricks
Stilled the frogs determination
To display his heart’s elation.
But one night a nightingale
In the moonlight cold and pale

This game is EPIC fun. Brings back the old Joust days with a modern twist. I used this as a party game and we ended up playing for hours. Get 4 controllers and challenge your friends.
the basketball mode is incredible. Get the ball through the rings, so simple yet so challenging when youre friends are trying to hijack you.
I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in local gameplay and connecting with friends.

Papa’s Quiz
I think this is a good alternative for the Jackbox games but it is not as polished as some of the Jackbox trivia games. I like that there is a variety of categories to choose from and and I like the character customization. However, one trivia game can go on for a bit long in my opinion. A game is usually about 20 minutes with 5 rounds. I think maybe the game developers could look into letting the players customize the amount of rounds per game, if people want to play a short trivia game. Also to make the game easier for streaming, maybe the questions could appear on the devices that everyone is playing on to eliminate lag. Overall, it’s a decent game but needs a bit of improvement to be great. If you’re a trivia buff, I say get it and if you’re unsure you’ll like it then wait for a discount.

This game requires a good amount of engagement but doesn’t require as much as Jackbox which makes it great for those really casual sessions where people don’t want to think too much. The commentator is funny in both the script and accent. (Sorry if the accent was never supposed to be funny and I just offended the person who did the voice over.)
One of the greatest strengths of this game is that the content is quite diverse in terms of culture and country compared to Trivia Murder Party in Jackbox which is just mostly US-centric. Well done.

Quiplash 2 InterLASHional
There should be an option to disable acronyms etc. from the last lash and leave it as a one question for everyone.
After creaing a fun question base in my native language it’s stupid that i’m getting lash lash task in a different language.
Please give us an option to make it the same as in the quiplash 1 where we would get 1 question for everyone (would be good if that question came from the created base).

EDIT: It has come to my attention that in an update, Jackbox Games has added the “Make your own” feature, which gives this game tons more value. However, I’d suggest just getting the Jackbox Party Pack 3 instead, because that includes many more great games for around double the price of this game.
(The original review is below.)
“This game is basically Quiplash 1.5
An improvement on the original Quiplash.
That’s kinda it. The worst thing about it is that they removed the “Make your own” feature, which WAS in the original Quiplash 2, but whatever. Still tons of content.”

YOU DON’T KNOW JACK MOVIES
Embarrassing admission: when I was in middle school, I had a crush on Cookie.
I’ve still got the game disk (and instruction manual!) for this kicking around somewhere, though I haven’t been able to actually run it on a computer since about 2005. I bought the bundle pretty much the instant I saw that, at long last, the YDKJ games were available on Steam (well, some of them).
YDKJ Movies was tough when I played it when it first came out, because I was pretty young and hadn’t seen that many movies. Now it’s still really tough, because the majority of movies I’ve seen came out since 1997 (or at least are fresher in my memory). I’m pretty good at trivia, so I never found any of the other YDKJ games difficult, but this one’s still rough. Still, the humor and nostalgia more than make up for it, and getting questions wrong just means more opportunities for Cookie to hilariously insult me. I don’t even mind.

I have always liked the “You don’t know Jack” games - having played them since their first incarnation many window platforms ago. They can lose their magic a little because they follow the same formula, but it’s bit like having different trivial pursuit games, enough different topics and a bit of fun to play with someone else, or by yourself.
As I am from Australia the only downside is that there is a lot of content that is not relevant or is specific to US (eg: some comedy and tv shows that may not be shown here), although if you have a good general kinowledge of movies then this is only a very minor criticism. I would like to see some Oz movies included of course. Note that I have played this game a lot more than the 2 hours it says on my steam account.

YOU DON’T KNOW JACK TELEVISION
For a game produced in 1997, most of the questions are about TV shows from the 1950’s-1970’s. The classic slightly confusing You Don’t Know Jack way in which questions are asked is usually kinda fun, but quickly becomes an annoyance in this game because of how extremely dated most of the questions are. They were dated in 1997! I recommend skipping this one and picking another in the YDKJ franchise.

This game has a lot of questions about classic TV, not just the 80’s and 90’s. My mom, who has a big collection of DVDs of shows from the 50’s and 60’s, slaughtered me at this game. It’s fun, just be prepared to know all your 20th century TV inside and out.
Also, this game is completely incompatible with Steam controllers. If you have a living room setup, I hope you have a wireless keyboard.
