It’s always so much fun to play with friends and now that it supports a bigger crowd the competition is even fiercer than ever before. I have missed the You Don’t Know Jack games over the years and I’m happy to see it return for this collection. Since each player uses a smart device to play, there’s no need to purchase additional controllers. Other than that small change, the game pretty much plays the same, with all new questions and snarky answers. That’s probably because it would get way too annoying to have eight players screwing one another – basically every question could end up that way and that would totally break the flow of the game. This still remains the case, except usually only one player gets a screw now, depending on performance. If that player got it wrong, they’d lose money and the player that screwed them would gain money. In prior iterations each player would get a screw and could force another player to answer a question. Because of the additional players, the game has slightly changed its handling of screwing players. Prior games in the series allowed three (and sometimes four) people to go at it, but now with eight no one has to feel left out. For those uninitiated, this trivia game is full of sarcasm and humor and very often the answer they’re looking for isn’t always the most obvious of the bunch. Longtime players of the franchise will recognize Cookie, who once again returns as host. The Jackbox Party Pack 5 is special because it marks the return of original You Don’t Know Jack trivia game and it’s been enhanced slightly to include more players (now up to eight). This collection includes five separate games, and almost every one of them is great! They’re easy to learn and play, don’t require any prior experience, and are full of wit, satire, and humor to keep any party laughing the night away. That’s why the Jackbox Party Pack games have always been a staple at any of my gatherings. Getting together with family and friends and laughing at the wild and crazy answers was (and still is) one of my favorite things to do. Growing up I was a big fan of board games, and that included ones like Trivial Pursuit, Pictionary, and fast-paced word games like Catch Phrase.
