So instead of concentrating on that I am going to talk a bit about each of the games included in Party Pack 8.įirst up is Drawful Animate, if you’re new to Drawful then you are in for a real treat here. There’s not much I can say about the graphics, sound or any of my normal talking points when reviewing games. The humor that the Jackbox games always brings to the table is top notch and will always elicit a few laughs to you and your crew. Jackbox always offers a variety in each pack with trivia, puzzle, drawing and usually they add an off the wall game where you work together or compete against your friends to complete funny tasks or puzzles. So, doing the math (and trying not to use my toes in the process) that's at least 40 different party games in the series, so there is something for everyone. This is the 8th pack of the series, and each pack has had 5 to 6 games in them. It was a fun night during the pandemic when she couldn’t be with us in person. We had her on speaker so we could all talk, and she was able to play the trivia game completely over the phone.

We had my friend's mom (non-gamer, not tech savvy) join us in a game of You Don’t Know Jack in one of the past Packs and it worked great. So again, it’s really accessible to the non-gamers. Everyone that wants to play either needs a computer, phone or a tablet to join in on the fun. Controllers are not needed, except for the host who owns the game.

I really wish there was a way to combine all packs into one launcher, but if it were that easy I’m sure they would have done it by now. I own all eight Packs and its super fun to just cycle through our favorites on game nights. Only one copy of the game is needed, so it’s perfect to play with your non-gamer friends who want to come by, have a few adult beverages and have fun for a few hours. You can even play entirely using the phone, but you won’t get that wholesome human interaction that is needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Jackbox is a set of 5 party games that you can play either together in the same room, or remotely over a streaming service like Twitch or YouTube.

If you are not familiar with the past Jackbox Party Pack games and are looking into this series for the first time, then let me give you a small rundown of what the series is all about.
