Jackbox Games
Posted: Fri May 22, 2020 9:38 pm
My friends introduced me to Jackbox Games a few weeks ago, and we've been having a lot of fun playing since then! You can play them in person, but they're also really fun to play with online friends. Hence, they are fun to play when you're stuck at home and can't go anywhere.
Basically, if you've never played, the games are set up to be displayed on a central monitor/stream (if you're playing online). Then all the players get prompts for the game on their phone. For example, if you're playing the Jackbox game Quiplash, you might get a prompt like: "It's nice when your grandma knits you a sweater. It's weird when she knits you ______." And then you fill in the blank with anything! (For example, "It's weird when she knits you a cozy for your gearshift.") Then everyone's answers show up on the main monitor/stream, and you vote on your favorite! There are lots of other games, but this is my longwinded explanation of the basic game mechanics.
So does anyone else play?
