Discord voice chat channel, so...yes?

Those without voice are using twitch chat.
---

:O
---

Gotcha, didn't know if people were discussing in one of the 30 discord text channels too
---

Civic Doodle is very fun.



---

my prelim rankz

Bracketeering > Civic Doodle > Enough About You > Fibbage > Monster Seeking Monster > Survive the Internet
---

I'm working the next 11 nights in a row, so swell.
---

hosting again until the baseball starts
---

ok actually no interest now. maybe like 1130? after baseball.
---

I'm up for tonight (off voice, just in chat probably until I get the computer issues dealt with)

Didn't play survive the internet or civic doodle but from what I played

Bracketeering >>> Monster Seeking Monster > Enough About You > Fibbage 3

All were fine. MSM was silly but I liked the silliness of it

Bracketeering is up there with Quiplash, on an entirely different level from the rest of Jackbox imo. So good and absolutely perfect for this board

Civic Doodle looks like a lot of fun. Didn't see anything from Survive the internet
---

I actually really liked Survive the Internet in terms of enjoyment, but the rules felt counter intuitive.
---

I fully expected Survive the Internet to be the weak link, but I think it's my favorite so far. I didn't play a whole lot yet, but so far, I have:

Survive the Internet > Fibbage 3 > Bracketeering > Civic Doodle
---

I know people were low on Survive the Internet, but I really want to give it a chance. I'm not too hot on judging Jackbox games before they're actually played, because the right group with the right sense of humor can really have a transformative effect.

Of the three I played, Civic Doodle > Internet > Bracketeering, though they all have their strengths
---

I would really like to try Monster Seeking Monster again now that I have a better read on how the mechanics work, I think there could be some interesting metas as you get a hang of the roles. Definitely one of the higher-concept Jackbox games, like Bidiots

Bracketeering was cool but not amazing, feel like I'd like to see some better prompts

I guess those were the only two I played actually

Civic Doodle top tier

I definitely want to try Civic Doodle and Internet tonight at least once
---

I wanna try all the stuff, yeah.
---

Only one I haven't yet is Monster Seeking Monster.

i'd be in if you're hosting 2nite. go stros :)
---

I am hosting starting now!!!

---

I just got home. I don't understand this game but it looks fun.
---

---

My eggplant was robbed.

Hope you do this tomorrow. I get off a couple of hours earlier.
---

GG's nice host wigs.
---

The portrait drawing part of CD is so much more enjoyable than the graffiti part. I almost wish there were like 5 different types and you got two at random.
---

Oh, I only now noticed these games are available on the Switch. It might be interesting to get one to play with my friends on the go.

Which Party Pack do you think has the best games?
---

You really can't go wrong with any of them. I would say the first pack is the weakest, but if you're playing with friends on the go, YDKJ is a legit fantastic 4-player game when you're all together and not streaming.

Heading into the release of pack 4, I thought it would be the weak link, but so far, I think I've had more fun with all these games than I have with any other pack. Only Monster Seeking Monster is kinda meh, but it's just a bit more complicated and not terribly well explained, so the more we play it, the more interesting it'll be, I think.
---

4 or 2 I think. But neither contain drawful which is top tier.
---

3 + 4 is a good combo. You get the latest version of Quips and Fibbage, plus a few good drawing and trivia games.
---

Besides YDKJ in Jackbox 1 and BombCorp in 2, which aren't stream-friendly, my favorite games are Drawful from Jackbox 1, and like any version of Fibbage/Quiplash. And Bracketeering.
---

Jackbox 4 has been fun so far but I would also say it has the most involved/complicated games of the bunch, I think. I think I still feel that Jackbox 3 is the most solid overall.

Jackbox 4 is pretty great. Jackbox packs have a bad tendency of having 1-2 clear weak links (Lie Swatter in 1, BombCorp/Earwax in 2, Fakin It in 3) but I don't think 4 really has any, except maybe Fibbage 3 (did we really need THREE Fibbages?)

Best games:
You Don't Know Jack
Quiplash 2
Bracketeering
---

(did we really need THREE Fibbages?)

Yes because it's prob their most popular game and also it has Everything About You
---

I kinda love BombCorps, even though it's ridiculously difficult to make significant progress
---

Fibbage 3 was one of the more fun games last night (Bracketeering wasn't that fun, but that may have been because of the whole "let's keep rapidly switching votes back and forth, creating obnoxious sound effects and making it seem like we generally don't care about the result at all" thing).
---

I like the idea of Bracketeering, but it just felt kind of repetitive and goes on for too long. I really don't care about the later matches in the bracket because it's just answers we've seen before and they're not really funny the second or third time around.

It'd be better if every round was like the Triple Blind round, since the same answers can still be surprising and funny with a new topic making it much more interesting.

would you rather the result be almost instantaneously be obvious

because it would be most of the time, and that would make bracketeering worse

besides: if you leave your vote untouched for a few seconds, you get locked in, and maybe in the course of 30 seconds, someone sways you to change your vote. can't do that if you get locked in

Yes, because of the reasons GrandKirby just said. I'd rather the results be obvious and the rounds go faster (allowing for more games to be played) than dragging a result out for the full duration every time.
---

I agree with that as well. Bracketing is at its best then it's fast paced

I almost want to do away with the predictions in between each round, just because they really drag out the rounds
---

I feel like the voting time could be shorter. Isn't it like a minute long? That's a bit much especially when there's only two answers most of the time.
---

Turn off extended timers then

Well that's the thing, the voting ends as soon as everyone settles on a vote. It was only going to the max voting time last night because people kept rapidly changing their votes back and forth

Oh. Well in that case screw the vote fiddling. It's fun to watch at first, but I don't think it's worth it if the game's going to drag on because of it.

My group of friends LOVES Fakin' it. I defy your statement!
---

Fakin It is ok for a limited time but gets old fairly quickly (and is useless if you primarily play Jackbox for streaming)
---

Oh these things

Will you be doing this tonight?
