Not conceptually as it is quite clever but the pacing is so slow it can suck the mood away and leave people twiddling their thumbs. Job Job is the third game of the pack is possibly the weakest. But the winner’s wheel only has a few slices to land on that will allow you to win the game. The goal of the game is to get to 20,000 points to be able to spin the winner’s wheel. But if you land on an opponents slice then they get the points. Then each person takes it in turn to spin the wheel and they need to hope to land on a slice that gives them points. So after a few more questions, you get to the wheel and you have to select where on the wheel you want to place your slices. But as well as points they gain an extra slice for the upcoming wheel at the end of the round. The game doesn’t tell you how many correct answers there are and the winner is the one who gets most of the correct answers. Each round has questions that are mildly obscure like which of these 16 names are types of apples. I feel this is the most inclusive game as the winner will usually be unpredictable. The next game is the Wheel of Enormous proportions which is a game that involves a lot of luck and not so much skill. Instead of just one image, you need to draw two images to try and animate your drawing to add a bit of a twist on the game, and it does make things a little easier. What is different from the previous Drawful games is the animation part. If they select one of the other guest’s answers then they get the points. If the opponents get the right answer then they and the artist of the picture get points. The opponent’s guesses are then displayed on the screen as a handful of answers mixed in with the real answer and the game is to guess which is the correct answer. But basically, you give it your best go and once drawn the other players see your picture and they have to then guess what your picture is about. You are given something to draw which is rarely simple I had to draw “Guy Fieri’s army” which for those non-US based players is going to be a 50/50 chance that you know who he is. This one is kind of Pictionary based with a twist. First up is Drawful Animate which is a twist on a regular favourite in the Jackbox series. They also need to make the game simple enough so that some of the unfamiliar topics don’t get lost in the instructions. They have also been known to overcomplicate some of the games and it must be getting increasingly tough to generate new ideas for games that don’t exclude anyone. Previous Jackbox games have been known to have a couple of games that are belters, and a couple of so-so fillers. This is usually where you discover which of your friends is the most creative, witty, devious or very easily confused. It is all-inclusive as it only involves each player using their phone or tablet, which most people often have one or the other to hand. The Jackbox Party games are a joy to most modern-day parties. ![]() If you are unfamiliar with these then either you don’t enjoy party games or you have been severely missing out.
