I've heard from a few people that Fibbage is a great party game so I got it on a whim yesterday because we were having some people over for a Thanksgiving party.

Fibbage and Drawful were both a huge hit, and I'm really excited to play with my family on actual Thanksgiving now. I bought the first pack since I'm a big fan of YDKJ and wanted Fibbage, are the other two worth getting? I'm curios to try them but $25 each is a little expensive if they end up being duds.

the third one is great while the second one is a bit samey if you have the first one (from what i hear). having the first and third is a good amount of variety.

 

[Tagyhag]

2 is skippable since you already have 1.

3 is definitely worth getting but you can always wait for a sale.

If you're on PC the Steam Fall sale starts on Nov 23.

 

[Sword Of Doom]

The 3rd one looks really good

 

[Firestorm]

Buy all during Steam sale.

Pack 2 has Quiplash and Bomb Corp, which imo makes it worth it. But I believe Quiplash can be bought separately.

I'd say they are all worth it, we love Bidiots in the second game, also if you want a good party game and have PSVR then Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is great.

Knowing that the first two are regularly in a sale I'd pick up the 3rd and wait for the other 2 to hit the sales again. They've been as low as $5 each previously

Buy all during Steam sale.

I started typing this post to say that I don't own a gaming PC and that I'd likely continue buying them on PlayStation out of convenience, but then I realized that I can just buy them on Steam and run them on my MacBook. I have an HDMI out to connect it to a TV.

Man, I wish I would have tried this earlier, this would have gotten a TON of play when I was in grad school in our lounge.

How low are they all likely to be during the Steam sale?

 

[PandaShake]

Whichever one that has tee k.o. You draw designs and slogans and come up with the best shirt after inputs are randomized. It's well thought out besides the usual trivia question games and was amazing on Giant Bomb stream.

You sure it's gonna start on that date?

 

[RetroMG]

Jackbox 3 is the best so far, IMO, if only for the quality of life improvements on Quiplash.

I would buy 2 for Fibbage and Drawful, and 3 for everything else.

It's a Black Friday sale, it always takes place on the week where Black Friday is.

Drawful was in 1, not 2. Bidiots was 2.

Drawful was in 1, not 2. Bidiots was 2.

Personally I felt Drawful sucked, but our group love Bidiots (tactical bidding and dropping wrong clues is great). Other stinkers are Word Spud and Earwax (pure luck on getting decent sound options)

 

[Deleted member 30609]

Earwax is so underrated. I mean, yes it's really dumb, but sometimes it's just the cure

 

[Lijik]

In my group the third one was the most consistent in terms of variety, but bidiots from 2 is the biggest hit.

 

[Jockel]

I bought 1, 2 and Drawful 2. Very happy with my purchases. I'll have to get 3 eventually.
My faves are Fibbage 2, Drawful 2 and Earwax.

 

[Ferrio]

That's surprising. I like it myself, but it seems to turn off a lot of people.

 

[darklin0]

Murder Party is GOAT. 1 and 2 go on sale a lot so you should wait for those.

 

[Heel]

Are you on PlayStation? Jackbox Party Pack 3 is currently on sale for Xbox's Black Friday sale, so I'd say there's a good chance it will be on sale for PlayStation's Black Friday as well.

 

[Sp3eD]

I love jb1 and 2 to death. Got drawful 2 and now just waiting on a good price for #3. Hopefully the psn sale coming up has it.

Anyway, jackbox 2 has been the biggest hit with my friends and family. Bidiots was one of the most played games, while my 7 year old daughter loves earwax.

I'm taking my PS4 to the Christmas party this year and have tons of people hyped to play it already. Going to be a blast.

I wish at this point though they would create a combined front end for these so we can have all games in one mega pack select screen. Probably won't happen though.

 

[Fat4all]

1 and 3 are aces

 

[me0wish]

Jackbox Party Pack 1 - Didn't like it much besides Fibbage and Drawful, I'd recommend buying Drawful 2 instead.

Jackbox Party Pack 2 - Bidiots is probably my favorite game out of all Jackbox games, Bomb Corp and Fibbage 2 are great.

Jackbox Party Pack 3 - All games are great and creative, definitely the best pack, had a lot of fun playing it with my friends.

I'm just going by the usual leak.

Nothing is confirmed, but 99% likely that it's the 23rd.
