best to worst,
1. job job - everyone agrees it's the best one. it is, by far. it's a game that facilitates "be funny" really well
2. poll mine - it's alright, although you're really kind of at mercy of the prompts. if you get one no one in the group cares about then that round is just gonna be mostly guesswork.
3. weapons drawn - it's a little confusing but it can be fun if only for the dumb shit you name the guests. definitely a game that would probably suck if you got good at it though. as for social deduction games i still think push the button is better
4. drawful animate - some of the worst prompts so far, especially since none of the ones i got when i played took advantage of the extra frame. no real reason to play this one if you've already played a drawful game, and the time periods feel just as short as when you had only 1 frame
5. wheel - lmao its literally random ass trivia but how you do on the trivia does not matter since the game is drowned in so much rng whoever knows the most trivia only gets like a 10% greater chance to win
jackbox is one of those series where if you get the right ones you really do not need to get the rest, save from missing out on a couple many games are roughly recycled from pack to pack. this is definitely one i'd wait until you can get really cheap but that doesn't mean it's a bad game, just not worth how damn much jackbox games go for these days. like no matter how good job job is it is NOT worth 30 bucks lmao. there are better social deduction games in previous packs, there are better drawing games in previous packs, and there are astronomically better trivia games in previous packs. this one doesn't even have an improv game, and if patently stupid and talking points are any indication those are like, the best ones
