The Jackbox Party Pack 9 Reviews

awesome sayz

chat can we clip that

It's devious to see the cruel things my friends declare in front of myself in this game... Good game, I wish I didn't have to learn about the ''*rg*'' my friends made up, lol.

A good pack, but not as great as the rest. Out of all the games in the entire history of Jackbox, Fibbage was not the game that needed another installment. That being said, Fibbage is still fun. This one just has updated prompts (2019 to 2022) and a new special round where you watch old movies and then lie about them. The Enough About You mode also returns, but without the second round. Totally fine addition, but a bit confusing. Roomerang is the classic "write funny stuff into prompts" with the twist of added roleplaying. Main issues here only pop up depending on the type of players you are playing with. People who just dont wanna roleplay will just answer the prompts normally, and the game cant punish that. It is pretty good if you find some willing people to play. Junktopia is sorta like 5's Patently Stupid, but instead of drawing your things to sell to other players, you buy them from a store. If you liked Patently, you will most likely enjoy this. Nonsensory is a "drawing" title for the pack, but also the other writing game. You need to write/draw something on a scale of 1 to 10, but you are given a number to aim. Other players then guess what your number was. This is great, however due to the black background and green drawing lines in the actual game versus the white background with black drawing on your phone, your drawings can get mangled after submission. Be careful. Quixort is a trivia game where you sort falling blocks. This is done in teams. The particular problem here is that a single round is quite long, since one team has to sort, then the other team sorts, meanwhile the team who sorted first has literally nothing to do for up to 20 minutes. This is also amplified in the final round, where you have to sort the same thing TWICE. However, if you have something to do for the dormant players, this issue completely disappears. To sum up, Party Pack 9 is a good pack, even great at times, but suffers from the somewhat unavoidable "how do i make this unique" problem, which you get after 9 parts of anything, really. It's worth picking up, but if you are looking for a Party Pack to start with, buy 7, 5 or 8 instead.
