Board 8 > Jackbox Party Pack 6 is out today

(+) Yeah! (+)

I feel like there are people who play that here and thought it would be worth making a topic? I can't wait to play it this weekend.

Always take the money

Watched some people play, that Role Models game seems a little lame but the alien game would be really good as long as everyone knows how to play
---

Aliens looks like a good mix of faking it, actual mafia, and resistance

nah they're maybe less frequent but every couple of months still. but you don't even use discord so how would you know?
---

yeah Role Models seems like the worst of the bunch, maybe decent if you know everyone in the game well but even then meh

the rest of the games seem pretty good
---

Is there a breakdown of all the games somewhere?

Got a chance to try a round of each last night (ahead of having both Saturday and Sunday dedicated to the release with two groups of friends), and my initial thoughts:

Push the Button is an immediate classic, definitely top tier and in the running for my favorite in the series. A much better attempt at deduction games than Fakin' It, mixed with a lot of the stronger elements of the overall series.

Trivia Murder Party 2 is, of course, the first game but better; the mini-games seem more fun this time around, though I'll have to see how that plays out over time - I always hated how common the finger game was in the first version and hope this one manages to avoid that

I enjoy the concept of Role Models quite a bit, but some things are vague enough that it's hard to categorize people - but I was playing with a group that I don't know quite enough? I'll see how the next two nights go with my more regular friends

Joke Boat is in the vein of their other comedy games, which means I find it more stressful than anything. I think I prefer the structure of Mad Verse City and would always rather fall back on Quiplash than either? But I imagine it will work for those who prefer this particular brand of Jackbox

Dictionarium seems a bit too simplistic? I feel it specifically ends on a weak note with having to use the word in a sentence, which doesn't seem as funny as the initial construction of a definition
---

Overall, I'd say it seems like one of the stronger packs. Joke Boat and Dictionarium have their place, and Push the Button and TMP2 are both some of the better games in the series. I can see opinions of Role Models being mixed but I enjoy the concept of trying to deduct how your group of friends actually view each other.

Among that group, we did (non-descript) Pokemon, Monsters, and Musicals, and I ended up being voted the Magikarp, Mummy, and Hamilton of the group and I don't know how I feel about any of those...

Joke Boat looks great to me because I always want to rewrite other people's jokes, which is also why I like Civic Doodle

I'm down for a Push The Button with b8mafia crew at some point though
