Joke Boat is this year’s “Mad Verse City” in that 3-8 players have to go out of their comfort zone by coming up with Mad Libs-like topics, insert them into a standup comic joke setup and finish with an individually-written punchline. However, it’s still an infinitely replayable experience my testing group wants to throw in the rotation. I would suggest playing with as many as possible, as there is only one alien with four players. It’s fairly straightforward yet the variety of tasks provided and the leeway provided in opinionated, personalized content makes each game fresh. Social deduction games haven’t quite driven the series so far, but to me, this minigame is Jackbox Party Pack 6’s best. However, they can hack people to give themselves correct prompts or give humans alien prompts, and if you don’t guess them all correctly at once, they win. Humans see regular drawing, opinion, and deliberation prompts while aliens’ prompts are altered or not even present. If there’s a singular game that helps push the envelope forward, it’s Push the Button. This game sees 4-10 players complete a series of tasks within a time limit to find out who among the group are aliens. In fact, I’d say The Jackbox Party Pack 6 is one of the best collections overall. However, Jackbox Games has been cranking out collections each year to remarkable success.
JACK BOX PARTY 6 FULL
It seems like churning out a collection of minigames each year as a full release (at half the price of a standard, packaged retail game) seems like a recipe for inevitable disaster.
Platforms: PC (version reviewed), PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Comcast Xfinity, Android TV, Mac App Store By Daniel George 3 years ago Finding a balance between social deduction, social interaction, silliness and gameplay, The Jackbox Party Pack 6 provides a more robust collection this year.
