I'd give this a thumbs in the middle if I could.

Not that this pack is bad, but the best game on it (Tee-KO) is in the cheaper jackbox party starter, as is the improved sequel to Trivia murder party (the other good game in this pack), and the sequel to Quiplash 2 (also superior).

The only two games unique to this pack are Guesspionage and ♥♥♥♥♥' It.

Guesspionage is... well, it's mostly just guessing what percentage of people selected what in a survey, and then everyone else guessing whether you're close enough, or whether the actual numbers are higher or lower. It's a cool little cooldown or warmup game, but it's never gonna be a showstopper.

♥♥♥♥♥' It is a weird leftover of this early Jackbox era, as it's built around being physically in the room with all the other players. If you are actually in the room with everyone, it's a simple but neat social deduction game, but if you're playing over Twitch or Discord as a lot of people are, you cannot play it, at least not without Jury-rigging a bunch of systems to make it work.

Overall, this is NOT a bad pack at all, but the three best games can be earned both cheaper and improved via the Jackbox Party Starter, and the other two are mediocre, or unplayable unless you are in the room with everyone. I'd skip it and just go for the party starter.
