How do I start?

[Fudipelz]

Dumb question, but... how do I connect to anybody's game? This is not solo right, it's meant to be played in a group? Or not?

I start "play drawful", then log in on my mobile, create my profile appearance and when I start, I see my name and pic on the PC.

Then it's waiting....

=> how will players join?
=> how, instead of waiting, can I join other ongoing games?

Your friends can join your game through the same code, but through jackbox.tv
And Idk if you can join other games while in queue

I can only play with friends? I dont know anybody who has the game/plays it.

this is the bad part of the game

start a stream via the steam overlay, make it friends only and they all can join

No one else needs the game.
The idea is that everyone is in the same room, its a party game. Your friends dont need a copy of the game, they just need a phone or tablet (or computer browser).
However, you can play remotely, I share my screen using Zoom, we can all see the game screen, and each other

Good input!

Do you NEED 8 players? 2 of us in a room, and no idea how to start it!

You need between 3 and 8 players. The gameplay doesn't work with only 2 people because a significant part of the game is guessing which answer is the correct one. If you only had 2 players, you'd always know which answer is correct because it will be the answer you didn't write.

If you want to play with people who are not in the same room as you, they have some good tutorials on how to do that here:
