Worst Jackbox

[JeneralBen]

Monster Date: who is this for? Not for a family. Not for people who can't type clever messages in the tiny amount of time they give by default. Not for people with normal iphones running standard software, because the browser UI breaks and covers up the things you're supposed to be pressing. This needs fixing first.


The other games generally had issues with connectivity, with players not getting prompted and not understanding what the heck is going on.



Refunded. Same group has been able to play every single other Jackbox game.

Agreed, the monster one is just plain creepy when playing with family and makes about 0 sense, plus it keeps disconnecting. Fibbage is just a rehash and the bracket one feels like some complete afterthought. The only good one is survive the internet but for almost 30 bucks this installment is total crap. Refunded after 7 people basically expressed complete disappointment, even the drawing one is awkward and lame which is usually the highlight.

Played with friends, had no issue except for Civic Doodle (everything was really delayed, but we were all on the same bad wi-fi).
We really liked Monster seeks Monster. It's probably weird with family, yes, but with friends, you just make all the puns and bad pickup lines you want. Being revealed as the puppet and asking people if "they want some wood" or being revealed as the blob and asking people about "gooey love".

Fibbage has some good ideas compared to the previous ones (we had a Mother Russia special), the Enough about You part is really fun (can't play it too much, though, or you'd run out of ideas).
Bracketeering has a pretty bad first round, but the next ones are fun with the changing prompts.
Survive the Internet is great (except with an odd number of players... Gene ruins one answer everytime).
Civic Doodle still was fun, even though we had less time to draw.

To me, it might be the best Jackbox party pack. Every other one had at least one game we hated. Bomb corp. was annoying, Bidiots was boring, Quiplash 2 had an awful last round which made Quiplash XL the obvious choice when we wanted to play, nobody liked Word Spud and Lie Swatter, etc. The fourth pack is the first with only games we at least like a little.

I disagree.

Is it as good as 3? No. But it is defnitely better than 1 and 2.

add no for people outside the usa, not for lonely people (really need to add a join random online game feature !!!!)

The monster game is fine, we just rebranded it from Dating to 'Teaming Up' or 'Dealing'
