I disagree with every game and rank
Explain
NAH!!!
Oh Sh¹t! An Opinion!
exceptional argument, however, your mother

Grindset
The fact you didn't give Split the Room 2.5 stars is criminal
AYYYYYYYYYY-
Oh god… now you’re just splitting hairs.
I dunno... I'm a bit torn on what rating to give it.
something ive found with people ive played jackbox with is that they either absolutely love push the button or absolutely despise push the button with no in between
In my experience, mind I haven't played in a bit since mine is one who doesn't enjoy it, it comes down to group size and general skill.
What typically happens is a group of 5/6 boots on and the aliens single out the least confident/weakest player. Hack spam them while throwing all but 1 alien under the bus, and either toss that person out with the bad player or get the good alien in the captain chair for the analysis chamber and they end up being the convincing factor.
From the outside in, it seems easy to read, but you can almost never tell unless the good alien somehow gets sussed out which is very hard if they start dividing the hacks between others to add confusion.
Overall, it relies on having a group that knows what they're doing, or a big enough group where there's not enough confusion to be spread very easily by hack spamming.
Yeah I love it but my family never want to play it 😢
for people who don't like social deduction games, the main selling point of the format is precisely the worst part. so like. you'll kind of have an exponentially worse experience the better the game is.
source: i think push the button is objectively a masterpiece even though i would rather play devils and the details 3 times in a row than one round of it
@@timeparadox999 Valid, I said in mine above that the game really requires everyone know what they're doing/be a big group. Not a big sell for a game if any player just doesn't like the format
I agree!
I find it funny how Zeeple Dome single-handedly put Jackbox 5 as a whole in 6th.
Zeeple Dome is an absolutely miserable experience. My family tried it once or twice, and half of us quit after one round. The other half quit after the second round.
@@SnancyNegative I never had a good time in Zeeple Dome, even on Discord with minimal latency with friends.
I definitely do like how QL3 has 3 safety quips tailored to each question rather than being generic ones that you have to hope apply to the prompt. One funny one I remember seeing in a video was the question “What stops a boomerang from coming back?” having a possible safety quip of “Their pride”
based amite spitting FACTS
Completely unrelated buy I've never seen Puyo fans comment on a non-Puyo video, today is a great day
@@JustMar14_24 PUYO BROS UNITE! :D
i love seeing puyo fans out in the wilde
QL3 safety quips can actually be funnier than a human answer sometimes
The biggest problem with earwax isn't the fact that it's just about funny noises, it's the fact that they don't randomize the order of answers.
So you can have an 8 way tie because people can tell who did what
Mad Verse City is honestly fantastic with the right people
Tbh that's why I think it deserves 3 stars, it's an S tier game if you have ppl who are down to freestyle, but the problem is this game is so much harder to convince ppl to play versus other jackbox games
Same with split the room
It's my favorite Jackbox game
I personally consider 5 my absolute favorite pack for this reason. Madverse, Split the room and Patently stupid are my favorite games of any jackbox game. And then the You don’t know jack in that pack is probably my favorite trivia game. Zeeple dome still sucks ass though
True. If you are not close enough to the people youre playing it to the point you can rip their self esteem apart with a sick rhyme, you're not playing Mad Verse City to its full potential. Its so much fun
I’ve never had a bad Champ-d up round. Even when there is unbalanced artistic abilities, sheer creativity and comedy can help even the playing field. My perfect jackbox game
My favorite kind of rounds are the bullshit ones that everyone's seen at least once, they go a little something like this:
Champion: "Literally just a rat"
Opponent: "My rat-stomping boots"
THE LIKE ONE FRAME OF "REJECTION" AFTER THAT WHOLE CONVERSATION IN MONSTERS SEEKING MONSTERS AT 17:47 ACTUALLY HAD ME CACKLING LMAO

I'm glad you acknowledged that lots of people still enjoy certain games, even if you personally don't. I always have a blast with Mad Verse City with my family, and we actually find the TTS one of the funniest parts! Thanks for another great long video to sit back and watch.
Absolutely the same in my group. The abject shittiness of the TTS is 100% part of the appeal.
That and coming up with terrible robot rapper names. 3-JAC-U-L8, anyone?
its been almost 4 years since the first jackbox video 💀💀
I did not know that its has been this long...
The moment he put fixytext in 50th place i knew this was a COMPETETIVE jackbox tierlist.
😭😭
right?? fixytext is one of my group's favorite games, its so stupid but thats why its so so fun
right. i think his friends might not be funny lol enough every time ive played ive been of the floor from laughing so hard, win or lose
Dude you were so mean to The Devils and the Details, that one is so fun to play with friends just to hear them all babbling random instructions that sound hilarious out of context.
Honestly I’ve found that if your group decides to go 100% in on junktopia it’s one of the funniest games in the franchise. Everyone stands in front of the audience to present and the laughs always come from the insane delivery. Playing it on discord or twitch ruins it imo. My friends and I love it.
We also occasionally use house rules, where for round 2, you HAVE to use the mandatory item, and have to choose another player to present for you like talking points- you can either have everyone choose whoever is to your left or right, or just do first come first serve, that way you can write your answer with someone else in mind. I encourage everyone to try it, it’s very fun!
Junktopia resulted in some of the funniest stuff we did on stream. It works especially well if you have a dark sense of humor. Plus, the presentation phase isn't for everyone, so allowing the option to rely solely on the cards helps include more people
I've found theming all your items for a round can also add to the hilarity, like the time I had to desperately come up with a way to tie a mystery item to an ongoing narrative about my ex-wife Karen who took the kids
I had a friend once invent a story where he was trying to sell off CLEARLY incredibly cursed items by claiming "it's DEFINITELY not a cursed portrait his eyes are just like that!" and it was so good 😂
Blather Round might be, without exaggeration, my favorite Jackbox Game and i absolutely agree with your criticisms.
I really wish it had gotten post-launch updates to add more prompts. Also marking one of the three prompts as "Easy" just kind of dissuades people from picking that one, even if the prompt isn't inherently easier.
Unfortunately I can't imagine it's going to get a sequel that fixes these issues. It just wasn't that much of a runaway success.
It’s me and my family’s favourite too
Yes, it is an absolute favorite in our group too, and, yes, we also wish for more prompts to be added. It is a fantastic concept, totally on par with, say, job job.
Our family plays Guesspionage most times we have game night. An inside joke we have is "when in doubt, go 42%" and noting that these questions were asked in 2016 so think how people would have answered some questions then (as some answers would probably be very different in the wake of covid)
Trivia Murder Party (1 or 2) is ALWAYS our starter game on game nights. Sister often wins lol
I’m not sure what games you play of Monster Seeking Monster (MSM) but I’d argue there’s a bunch of counters that make the zombie and mummy role less one sided. First, there are many roles that rely on rejection to get points. For example, the mom, who gets points for another player not getting dates. There’s the vengeful ghost that gets points if rejected which can make it hard to spread a curse to them. Also, the two faced creep HEAVILY relies on it two since their role’s main edge is rejecting and dating players and usually when this role is revealed it can make it hard for the player to date again. The ventriloquist also needs rejection as that’s their way of getting bonus points. Another point is the fact that some roles simply don’t want to date, whether it’s because they only want to date one person or multiple people. A a vengeful ghost who’s not getting dates may go more offensive, a body swapper may date one person and that person might not be infected, roles like the serial killer also try and clump up their dates which can isolate two people from infection/curse. If there’s any role that role that’s super overpowered it’s the leprechaun. The role gives people fake hearts, shooting them up to first, and thus revealing their monster before the leprechaun. Not only does it do that it GAINS points for causing players to drop in the ranks when the fake hearts are dropped. Usually this role gets revealed late game and can get a lot of hearts as a result (I’ve seen people gain 3). (I just wanted to get that off my chest think however you please)
The main problem with your reasoning is that the roles are random. If you're in a game with a zombie, you're not guaranteed to also have one of the roles be a not dating role.
lesgooooo
Also really appreciate the use of SSX Tricky music.
Spotted in the wild
You're probably the most influential member of this community, that ranking was fairly acurate to what i think too.
Edit: The mayor didn't deserve that "Shut up" :´(
The guy with his head poking out of the box (Jack, presumably) looks like the “my students are all morons” guy
I love Weapons Drawn, but likely for the wrong reasons. Despite its shallow complexity I love hiding the letters and scanning my opponents’ pictures for theirs. I haven’t had a bad experience with this game yet!
Same!
it baffles me how many games are severely hindered by taking way too long
I’ve been a jackbox fan since 4 came out and watching these videos slowly come out have solidified them as not only my favorite party games, but some of my favorite games of all time. Thank you for making these videos they have genuinely made me love this series even more.
i really don't get how anyone can like push the button. from my experience, it's one of the worst social deduction games i've ever played. the concept is fun, but the game is just way too skewed in the alien's favour, to the point where i don't think the humans have ever won when we've played it. the number of hacks the aliens get is far too high, basically making any information you gather meaningless. there's really no way to tell if someone is getting all the prompts wrong because they're an alien, or because the aliens are just targeting them with hacks every round. and because the humans need to guess all of the aliens in one go, and only get one chance, it's pretty much just a tossup with no way to distinguish between aliens and heavily targeted humans.
just a note on what you said in the video, about saying "i was hacked" being suspicious. this may be true, but if all of the aliens and 1 or 2 humans are all saying it repeatedly, then there really is no way to distinguish them, and because you need to get exactly the correct people, and you only get one shot, it's still basically a random shot in the dark to hope you vote out exactly the correct people.
push the button is so comically polarizing i cannot explain why i like it
Jokeboat is one of very few games I have played
I loved it, but only because the tagline or whatever for one of my pals was “laughters a dystopia” and the remainder of that call devolved into “literally 1984” jokes
It was insanity 10/10 would do again
7:52 it took me a second to realize that you used the DIG DUG exhibit from Namco Museum Vol. 3
It's disappointing that DodoReMe was stuck in party pack 10, this game deserves a sequel in either a better party pack or just as a stand alone game.
Babe, wake up. Silokhawk released a new Jackbox Video!!
I think it’s worth mentioning that Dodo re mi is even fun when you’re just playing alone by yourself
silok dropped peak and thought we wouldn’t notice
Everyone arguing in the comments is so funny. Everyone likes different things. No ones rankings are going to be the same
Super funny seeing the contrast between friend groups with Jackbox games. I personally have a group full of artists, and some of our favorite games rank lower on this list lmao
I'm SHOCKED to see Push the Button at number 1, but I get your reasonings. I agree with all your points honestly, but my two main reasons I wouldn't put it as highly for my own list eould be that my main friend group hates social deduction and ruin the experience for themselves and everyone else with constant complaining, and that I just love doing social deduction in person more than in a game. (Frankly though I'd still rate this higher than Fakin it despite it having mainly IRL elements)
WHAAAT I LOVE MAD VERSE CITY it's my go to, along with survive the internet and champ'd up
Truth be told, fixy text is probably the hardest my friends and I have laughed while playing a jackbox game! I think the humor for me comes from the context in which the message we sent is! Half of my friends would try to follow the prompt, and the other half just types the most random malarky ever, and we get a message that might as well be a keyboard smash. I find it to be a butt-load of fun, but I can totally see why one would dislike it :)
Interesting note as a British player - we found Guesspionage almost unplayable because of how reliant its questions were on American culture, a problem not many JB games have had since.
Example from your video is questions about Walmart, which we just don't have.
Hopefully they keep the trend of broader appeal going!
Another British player here, definitely glad a lot of the later games have a filter that removes a lot of the USA-centric content. Even luckier, I have two groups, one is full of Europeans where I'm usually the host and the where I'm the only non-American in the group and they're still nice enough to turn on the toggle for me.
Guesspionage is my FAVORITE jackbox game and it's nice seeing someone not hate on it for once!
I love that you have the pack included in the editing on this! Super helpful as someone who is looking to build their library but only had the funds to do so selectively lol
I’d like to give my opinions on some of these.
Out of every game in the series, word spud is the one that depends the most on the group you’re playing with. I’ve had games where it was mostly quite boring. I’ve also had a game that was of the funniest games of any jackbox game I’ve ever played.
Lie swatter is the entire reason we have jackbox party pack. Doesn’t make it good
Devils is actually really fun both in person and over discord call. The manic chaos of shouting over each other, trying desperately to complete your tasks before someone can cause another disaster. It’s genuinely one of the best the series has to offer.
Fixytext is another game that depends wildly on the play group. Just put what I said about word spud here but better because instead of boring Fixytext is at worst only barely funny.
The only time I’ve had fun with the game earwax was a mod that replaced the sounds with meme sounds
I remember when I first played pack 4 the audio wasn’t working, and we didn’t have enough time for civic doodle. The next night we went to try out civic doodle and the audio was working. That only made the game worse.
Bracketeering is worthwhile playing if you can fill up the whole 16 players. Don’t bother otherwise
Madverse is the game in the series to be more fun to watch, than to play.
Shoutout to the game of Tee-ko2 where I swept rounds 1 and 2.
Guesspionage is close to being good, but the inaccurate data just ruins the whole thing for me. I really desperately want to know where in the hell they conducted their surveys. I still think out of every jackbox games guesspionage would be one of the best candidates for a sequel, so we can get a better game out it.
I can’t tell if I’m in the minority here but blather round SUCKS. It is easily the most boring and unfun game in the series. Say what you will about zeeple dome, but at least that’s not boring. Blather round is just a bunch of blind guessing and hoping for the best. Would never recommend.
Shoutout to the teeKO game where I swept rounds 1 and 2. My winning phrase was “get f*cked” one of the funniest games I’ve played.
Dodoremi is one of my all time favorites, but that can be attributed to the fact that I have a chronic disease know as “being a rhythm game fan”. Despite it seeming like a game that wouldn’t fit a multiplayer session, something about it just works so effortlessly.
Job job is peak peak. Enough said.
TMP2 is the best trivia game in the series. Honestly I could go to more detail but my phone is starting to lag with this gigantic comment typed up.
I hate seeing Devils get so much hate! I loved it, I thought all of the minigames and co-ordination almost made it feel like a long-lost cousin to Bomb Corp. And the chaos of everyone yelling over each other never gets old - reminds me of the classic mobile game Spaceteam.
Thank you for appreciating Job Job so much, it is one of my favorites, if not my absolute favorite jackbox game!
Your Jackbox videos are awesome!
I'd say that Survive the Internet, Roomerang, and Tee K.O. 2 should be much higher, Bomb Corp should be near the bottom, Weapons Drawn should be above Civic Doodle, and Poll Mine and Dodo Re Mi should not be near that high.
37:50
you're right, "acronym-lash" doesn't sound good. Good thing that's NOT WHAT IT'S CALLED
Junktopia is one of my favorite Jackbox games, just trying to salvage whatever you chose is comedy gold
Another great thing about TeeKO is that it has the most charming characters.
Push the button is incredible, and hacks are such a fun mechanic, but they have way to many you can practically hack every single round and I have played it 8 or so times and the humans have never won. I think reducing the amount of hacks would also force the aliens to use them in more strategic moments.
I've played the game about 50 times, and I always have yet to see a single human win.
Just play with low player count with 4 players its a perfectly 50/50 mix
@@larryabcde I don't control the amount of players in currently playing with if I a game only works with a certain number of players that's still annoying.
@@ezciter yeah true I think the jackbox team just tested the game with 4 players a better balanced sequel would be great
I personally think that Push the Button is flawed because either the timer is just too short or the aliens have a bit too much of an advantage with how the hack system has too much leniency
I feel it's a combination of that and the "one mistake" rule that makes the game unviable for human players.
All it takes is one easily used hack to trip a player and the aliens all but automatically win.
@@johnockershausen3951 If all it takes is a single hack to throw the game, then you're not playing with very smart people no offense
Surreal to see you got this finally done, good stuff! A lot of this video was repeating what you said in the OG reviews but that's totally understandable given this new context of comparing them all to one another, and in that regard I think you succeeded.
I never gave Push the Button enough of a chance.. I should try giving it another shot.
4:00 Hey, it's me being stopped right there! That's pretty cool ngl.
As a big ydkj fan I'm ready to be disappointed
Edit: ok it actually wasn't that low nice
I would say Fibbage and its variants definitely make for my favourite jackbox game. With the simple concept having developed over ~10 years, it makes for great fun
NEW HOUR LONG SILOKHAWK VIDEO DROPPED my day is made !!!!!
I wouldn't rank Monster Seeking Monster so highly, because it's actually super awkward to roleplay-date between friends and it feels really hurtful to turn people down just for strategy reasons
I remember playing fibbage and trying to make a lie but then the game says something like "you can't enter the truth as a lie" so with blind stupid luck i guessed the truth as a lie
Great video. Nothing beats Bracketeering in my friend group. Ton of laughs and it's always a good time debating on which of the answers is the ultimate funniest. The mixed prompt rounds are the cherry on top. Definitely agree on Devils, the only game my group played which absolutely no one liked.
This is an interesting video on your thoughts on all the Jackbox games.
I respect your perspectives, but at the same time I feel like a lot of the people who like Survive the Internet (myself included) never really dealt with your first primary criticism of the game. 100% understandable, but I never had that problem in my social circles.
I like Push the Button as a concept, but in every round of it I've seen or witnessed, there's just never enough time to actually learn or deduce anything, so aliens always win, so it gets boring real fast.
Great video!
Silok, no one else may have noticed but I deeply appreciate the SSX Tricky music in the background. One of my favorite games of all time.
Nevermind, just saw another comment about it 😂
That was fun to watch! I sadly can't play these much myself, since I have no friends, but I DO watch Streamers play them a lot on Twitch, so I know most all the games very well. Some of your choices I don't agree with, but for the most part I think your list is pretty good. But, one thing...on Guesspionage, the percentage is based on your audience's votes, not on just some random vote the creators did.
Great video, probably the most entertaining ranking thing I’ve seen in a while. To give one suggestion, though I don’t know how helpful this is since it’s already made, when talking about the music, play a quick 5 second snippet of the song! That’d be fun
Thank you!
I sample a lot of music in my full reviews; For the purposes of this ranking video however, I wanted the video to keep a consistent pace to it.
LETS GO BABYYYYYY SILOKHAWK JACKBOX VIDEOOO
Split the room got done so dirty here. Even with just yes or no questions, there's so much fun to be had in crafting and revealing who answered what. There's definitely room to improve but seeing it behind games with legitimate flaws that make them worse in stead of "this could be even better" feels so wrong.
Sick, Now where the heck is the gamcube mario party's /j
Sick, Now where the heck is the gamcube mario party's /srs
I watched the whole video and I’m still shocked with number one. Just because it’s lower, my list does not mean it isn’t a good game that I can absolutely see being worth number one. I respect it.
Fixytext is absolutely HILARIOUS when you play with the right people, especially online.
I felt that Split The Room was placed a bit low, but I think you did a good job explaining why you did so. I just feel like a game should be judged on what it is rather than what it could have been if it had been designed differently.
I like how Trivia Murder Party is such a perfect concept that it’s still in the top ten despite being objectively outdated compared to TMP2, I guess TMP just stays winning.
Cool rankings and a super interesting video! Fun to see the perspective of somebody who doesn't hate social deduction games, lol. Also fascinating to me to hear trivia murder party is apparently so widely beloved- I'm personally not a fan of trivia games that make me feel like a fool for being wrong and drag me out in front of others as "the one who was incorrect" but that might be a holdover from being a "gifted kid" in school.
My personal favorite game is Blather Round. Earwax also has one big benefit if it's a family party, if the youngest player is worse at spelling or question comprehension they can still stand a chance with the canned response options. Just wish the game worked a little bit better.
Yoooo this is what we’ve been waiting for! I’m gonna truly enjoy this video! What are your thoughts on the naughty pack by the way?
I'm intrigued! I'm going to hold my thoughts until they show some games though.
@@silokhawkPeople apparently managed to datamine the existence of the Naughty Pack in advance through the Jackbox portal or something like that, and we have a pretty good idea of what's coming based on that
Spoilers:
Drawful and Fakin' It sequels and seemingly a new game themed around CAPTCHAs, though Jackbox also managed to leak plans for Trivia Murder Party 3 on a livestream a few months ago
people don’t get that job job is like, one of THE funniest games. played it at a house party and we had an absolute blast!
12:03 Oh shit! It's me! I remember playing with you on this
Silokhawk, I've listened to every single one of your Jackbox videos so many times my brother is actively trying to get me to find other TH-cam content.
I have only one question:
Where's the 10 hour ranking where each pack gets their own hour.
(So glad this video finally happened! All your videos are awesome and I've been waiting for this one for a while!)
It's been a while now, but whenever I used to play Survive the Internet with randoms online, I noticed a lot of people would just "react" to the message given, as if replying to a youtube comment, when the whole premise is to make out as if the original prompt is the weird reply, completely negating the whole point of the game. I don't know if this is because the tutorial was optional or people just didn't understand or care for the rules of the game, but they were never funny to me but somehow managed to win because the people who played like that always voted for each other. maybe im just a party pooper tho, but its a fun game if played properly
Really informative video, i love bidiots but agree to disagree
Great video! Though really interesting how much our opinions on Jackbox differ, I never really got the hype around Push the Button as it's so stressful and it seems to me to be very stacked against the aliens, I've never actually played a round of it where the aliens won. Also my friends never got into Trivia Murder Party or Fibbage, meanwhile Civic Doodle, Jokeboat and Earwax are mainstays, along with Monster Seeking Monster being the BIG favourite, though we do play with a homebrew ruleset. Quiplash, Drawful 2 and Talking Points seem to be universal classics though
Push the Button is just worse Among Us.
On the other hand, I’ve almost never seen a game where the humans win when there are three aliens in the game.
@@Onion_57 50:14 Now you have lol
Holy shit what a banger of a thumbnail!!
Earwax is actually so solid. It's one of mine and all my friends favorites when wanting to just have a chill goofy gaming time
My dad, for whatever reason, absolutely just HATES Tee KO. He cites it as a game where "you get no points for making the text or the images" and I'm just like... who cares??? I mean obviously he does, but he's always the ONLY ONE who feels that way. All it comes down to is "make a funny doodle, make a funny phrase, mix and match the ones other people made, laugh when someone drew a house with a big turd on the lawn and someone else wrote 'grandma fell down the stairs again'" and he takes it as a sign that somehow he should've gotten more "points" when there's... no points in the game.
man idec about winning on Jackbox games, winning losing who cares, we made each other laugh
You should try out blood on the clocktower since you enjoy push the button
It's a social deduction game similar to mafia or werewolf but focused on character information and the principle that even if you're dead, you are participating in the game (you can still talk and oftentimes dead people are the ones who influence the game more)
I recommend checking out Blood on the Clocktower, I think it is the peak social deduction
Him "We're finally done with the jackbox packs"
Me What about the upcoming new Hot Naughty pack
Him ...
I love talking points but cant play it since im too embarrased and shy to talk that publicly
Push the Button was a centerpoint of my friend group at the start of the pandemic. My only complaint with the game is that it always feels so alien-sided. I wouldn't want to make any dramatic changes, just something like an extra minute on the timer or one less hack for a 3 alien team.
Your criticism of Hypnotorious is so strange because I’ve never had a round where people didn’t want to play into it. Sure, maybe it’s easy to stir the pot by being a stinker but no one I’ve ever seen wants to and being difficult doesn’t really help you win points either
I'd recommend the pack 10 video I did so I can avoid dropping an essay of an explanation here lol
I don't think Earwax deserved to be that low. I can see it being in the middle but the bottom? It's not a masterpiece but it's not flawed in any way in my opinion.
Absolutely wild to see this series wrap up (for now) after 3 years what a crazy fun lil journey
Dodo Re Mi in top 5? Yess! Rhythm gaming!
Also TIL TMP2 has a Quiplash reference. Sign me the heck up!
This is a great list, because you seem to want to love even the bad games. The criticism is constructive. Also the video is entertaining, good vid gang
I wish I could like push the button as much as you do, but I find it incredibly hard to win as a human since you only get one vote. The among us comparison is quite fair, but if it does one thing better it's the voting system. I get why it's all or nothing here, but aliens do seem to have some soft advantage regarding win condition that drags it down a bit.
I feel like 1 star games are ones just nobody wants to play like ever, the two star games have potential but arent great in a competitive setting, and the 3 star games are when we get to games that are like generally enjoyable. Maybe not top tier, but playable.
38:08
Trivia murder party is my favourite Jackbox games, my second favorite is Quiplash
You aren't required to go through every level of Zeeple Dome, you can end the game at any level you want.
Each level is made up of multiple waves. People I've played with are done after 1 or 2 waves, not 1 or 2 levels.
Nah i hate Push the Button. Me and my friends are casuals when it comes to social deduction games, so for us it's WAY too hard for the humans to win because of how strict the victory conditions are, and the game also feels pretty slow. Every time i play with friends we just ask ourselves why the hell we're not playing Among Us, or better yet, Fakin It, which has extremely fast pacing and feels more personal (Fakin It is probably my fav Jackbox game lol; I've only played it irl and we only really cared about winning each round rather than winning a full game)
48:01 in regards to pacing
Hey silok, rly good video! I enjoy your ranking videos a lot and your videos about the BCP, so would you consider ranking all 96 mk 8d tracks? Thanks
Thanks for the video
Everyone in my friend group are artist and we LOVE Champed up
Tbh survive the Internet is my favorite game (i haven't played every game cuz I don't own too many packs) and yeah i hope it gets a sequel
Funny, my top three is very similar
3. Trivia Murder Party 2
2. Push the Button
1. Blather Round
I also want to mention that I think the final round of Fibbage Enough About You is amazing when people do think of something good for it. I, for example, used it to come out to my family as trans.
Junktopia is entirely dependent on your friends' ability to talk in ridiculous voices about nonsense like an eldritch jug made out of primordial drywall.
As someone who's favorite Jackbox game is Roomerang, I was pretty disappointed to see it ranked so low. I do understand your problems with it though, as there isn't anything binding you to whatever role you give yourself, and there's no real stakes since getting kicked out just brings you right back in. For me and my group of friends, we love leaning into the reality TV show aspect, writing stuff that'll ruffle someone's feathers or just get a huge laugh out of everyone. And of course, I'm absolutely in love with the game's art style, host, and overall personality, it all hits the mark for me. Even with games like Quiplash available, we always prefer playing Roomerang since it gives a little bit more depth to our answers. I respect your opinion to not like Roomerang, I just wanted to voice why I love it so much.
