GA:
"Here's the thing about the Jackbox Party Pack: I'm going to recommend it no matter what. Four of its five games could be the worst things ever, but because that fifth game is a new instalment of You Don't Know Jack — and a good new instalment, to boot — the compilation gets a pass from me.
Of course, while those other four games may not be the worst things ever, a couple of them aren't that great, either. Specifically, Lie Swatter and Word Spud are pretty dull. They may have certain aesthetic similarities to YDKJ, but that's basically all they have in common. Admittedly, I was only playing them with my wife, rather than in a room full of drunken partygoers, but at the same time, there wasn't much to them that would indicate they'd be better if you had more people."
The Jackbox Party Pack 10 is now here, and it’s got 5 new games for half the price of a single triple-A release.
The Jackbox Party Pack 10 is yet another solid entry in the long-running party game franchise and a great addition to anyone's game night rotation.
Jackbox Party Pack Vol. 8 is a rare miss, the most mixed bag for the series since its second entry.
I agree about Lie Swatter and Word Spud, but the other three games are great
As a massive YDKJ fan, I've been playing this since day 1 and it's certainly worthy of an A grade. Hugely fun. YDKJ 2015, Drawful, and Fibbage are the clear standouts, but Lie Swatter is also pretty good. I didn't have much fun with Word Spud, but I feel like if you had the right group of people (i.e. more mature than my friends and I haha) than it could be fun too.
Also, I disagree when the article says "there wasn't much to them that would indicate they'd be better if you had more people."
That's just not true. Even as someone who games almost exclusively by himself, the fun of this pack definitely increases exponentially the more people you play with.
