Should probably give these more than one go before rating this, but man, does this seem like one of the weakest bundles yet.

Quixort feels like the mandatory bad game these packs always have, but the biggest problem here is that all the games worth playing are slightly worse iterations of games they've already done. Junktopia is a worse Talking Points. Roomerang is literally just Quiplash with the points hidden and some other round-win caveats thrown in. Fibbage is Fibbage. Nonsensory is probably the most original one here but it still manages to feel incredibly derivative of other Jackbox stuff since it falls into the "answer random prompt & people vote on it" category of games.

Not, like, offensively bad, but there's just no real reason to get this one. If you've already played most of the Jackbox games, this isn't offering anything new. If you're newer to the series, you can literally just get 3 or 7. Hope they bring the weird oddball games back for the next installment (see: weapons drawn, the devil's in the details, push the button, etc), I don't even like all of those that much but at least the mediocre packs are more interesting that way
