Job Job - I like it. It's simple and fun, like a better quiplash. Only downside is I don't get enough time to make my answer and I don't think fast enough with words. Weapons Drawn - WHAT IS GOING ON. Confusing as hell for a simple game that isn't even that good. One of the worst games from any pack, play Drawful or something. Drawful Animate - I like. Pro Tip: Play the game with a tablet to enable cheat codes and have everyone hate you for your unfair advantage. The Poll Mine - Really really good. Only complication is one time my gf answered in the reverse order and threw off the whole game (which is cheating). She thought she was so smart for cheating at the game well guess what if I stole 1 million dollars from the bank and was able to get away with it I'd feel so smart too but the bank would still hate me. The Wheel of Enormous Proportions - Fun trivia game. No one wants to play it with me because I'm a genius. 4/5 good, great pack.

These Jackbox Games are a classic! They're so fun to play and to enjoy. If you get 5+ people it's some of the most fun you can have. Sometimes normal games get boring but you can get a ton of fun of playing these party games. I own almost the whole collection because how great they are. Would 100% purchase. Plus, you can play this online with discord share screen and only one person needs to own the game. It's a really good option for decently cheap party games that you get a ton of joy from.

I think this is a pretty solid follow up in the jackbox series, I cant lie after the triumph that was Party Pack 7 and how good that pack was it left a lot to be desired, and while I feel this pack did deliver on a few things, I cant help but feel underwhelmed especially after this was the followup to Party Pack 7. DRAWFUL ANIMATE: This is a pretty nice addition to the drawful series and its a VERY cute gimmick that I have a lot of fun with, it changes things up so it feels like a new game, but not enough that it doesn't feel like drawful which I love! The animations you make can feel smooth and satisfying to watch, I will say I think drawful 2 is still the best one, but this one does NOT disappoint, the only criticism I have is that if you are playing with the max of 10 people, be prepared for a LONG game, as when I played with 10 people it took from 30-40 minutes. THE WHEEL OF ENORMOUS PROPORTIONS: I think the obvious problem for a lot of people is the fact that this game is ALL RNG, meaning that you don't have to be good at trivia to win, you just have to be lucky. FOR ME, this doesn't bother me, but if you hate luck games then this is a skip, but if it doesn't this is a game for you. This is probably jackbox's best game on a trivia standpoint alone, the trivia is diverse, it encompasses a lot of different elements and is all around a very fun time, the trivia isn't niche, its about everything meaning you can get a category on something you're very experienced in. The gimmick of getting to ask the wheel something if you win is also very cute, if you don't mind the RNG in this game i'd recommend it. JOB JOB: It's an alternative to quiplash, and while I hear a lot of praise for this game, i'll say I do not have that same praise everybody has for this game. The positives are sometimes you can make VERY funny answers, so much so that this can top quiplash at times in funniness. I will also say visually, this is way more visually pleasing then ALL the quiplash games, also I love the water cooler host. My issue is actually my main issue, the word bank, now I get why its there and it sometimes it is VERY funny, however sometimes ill get stuff in my word bank that just doesn't make sense, or just doesn't make a sentence funny, and it can become very frustrating, POLL MINE: I love the family fued vibe this game gives off and the arguments that ensue over where to place a torch becomes very fun to do. I like how the categories aren't anything very niche, like TV shows so that everybody can rate and place things in an order that they believe in. I also like how you only know HALF of the peoples opinions, meaning that you have to try and guess what the other side likes so it makes it more difficult to try and guess and doesn't make it all cookie cutter. The only con is if you are playing in the same room as everybody and its a small room, you might be able to hear the other team talking taking away that aspect of guessing what the other team rated everything. WEAPONS DRAWN: Unfortunately I can't say much about this one as i've opened it once and haven't touched it since. It is way to complex and their are to many elements that makes it easy to understand for a first timer, and when I played for the first time I just found myself being confused. Whats even more disappointing is that a murder mystery jackbox game sounded so fun, but the fact it turned into a drawing game that makes little sense is disappointing RATINGS: 1. POLL MINE (9/10) 2. DRAWFUL ANIMATE (7.5/10) 3. JOB JOB (6.5/10) 4. THE WHEEL OF ENORMOUS PROPORTIONS (6/10) 5. WEAPONS DRAWN (3/10)
