Roomerang is infinitely funnier when EVERYONE is anonymous through out the entire game
you only get to judge people based off their answers and how well they're roll playing to their wacky trait
Fun fact: I’m actually the Abby Collins (booloocrew) entry who won a spot…and oof that thing you said was accurate. Yeah it’s a complete guessing game (who the hell would accurately figure out a 10 year old boy was the answer to my question who isn’t living in Columbia, South Carolina?) and yeah, I’d admit my entry was a bit awkward as others probably were. But as a Jackbox super fan, it honestly was amazing to be a part of.
To keep junktopia fresh, my group does house rules where for the second round everyone HAS to use the mystery item, and everyone presents for somebody else at random. Gives it a talking point vibe before going back to normal
Roomerang should have had a Ghost system like Trivia Murder Party, where they stay in and could win in the end if they get enough points, but they get a lot less points then those not voted out
One of the things that isn't talked much is how this is the first mainline game to be localized in a bunch of languages at once (not just German and French in standalone releases) which allows for non-English speakers to actually play the game without needing someone doing the translator job and potentially ruining the game
I love this. I'm Spanish and personally I don't have a lot of problems understanding English. But English education in my country sucks and my friends and family could not enjoy the previous games at the same level as a native English speaker. I tried to play with my group of friends the 9th and 10th game and it's the most fun we had with a Jackbox game by far. Understanding everything from the let go enhances the enjoyment a huge lot.
Wow cool (new) video
My favorite game is (New) Super Mario Bros

My main problem with Quixort is that the other team does nothing. In Poll Mine, you could discuss with the other team to make them pick wrong AND use their thought process to help your team later.
But here? You can try to get them to place blocks wrong but it’s quite separated since you can sabotage but not gain any information…
You get to feed a monster
I mean, that’s why there’s a Quixort forever mode
I like both joke boat and junktopia due to the restrictiveness. I get better ideas when i'm restricted and i've had a lot of fun with junktopia so far (joke boat is a bit worse but i enjoy that too). I can certainly see why they're hated but i like them a lot
They should add a feature to Junktopia that allows you to add your own images
Some group makes a game where all images are of Jerma
I really wish Jackbox Games would patch the games instead of making people wait and pay for a sequel - a lot of these issues feel like things that could be fixed by just tweaking them rather than needing a complete rethink
What if for Junktopia you instead had to present the object with someone else's descriptions of it and you have to spin them to be positives?
that’d be almost identical to talking points
@@louie.4047 in talking points the person giving your slides is trying to help you. Here they would be working against you
@@fatfloppa3919 the difference is still minor
@@louie.4047hi i know this comment is from a year ago but i need to point out how stupid of a statement this is. a fundamental change in the game structure is not minor.
I think this would be a good idea, I kinda made my own comment suggesting this (although I had just suggested the game come up with descriptions). In general, I think just having something more to work with than just a single picture with a seemingly-random price tag would be really helpful, and pulling from the other players would be great (and feels in line with Jackbox games - there's been a lot of games, like Tee KO and Joke Boat, that are built by using what others have written in).
Roomerang is mine and my friends favorite game on the party pack 9, just because the role play aspect, we try our best to stay on character and all of our responses need to align with our roles, so the one that could better put their role on the joke is sometimes better than the joke itself, and we don't care about the score, it's just for the laughter and tge role play, just like a comedic version of RPG, I understand that it's me and my group, but frw things made us laugh more than roomerang
Why isn’t there a Jackbox 7 video?
Because 7 ate 9 therefore it is in time out
I was literally just watching your Wii Sports Resort video and I’ve been binging all your videos! Keep up the great content
Have been waiting for this, thanks for getting this out
I really appreciate you for doing the effort of showing the user input screens. Great video / review series!
I'd love to see a video from you basically making pitches for sequels to currently standalone Jackbox games
30:39 I swear, this game has it out for me giving the opponent's super easy prompts and then giving me things that are way harder and even the people I've played with fully admitted their prompts were easier 🤣
I feel like an option for Roomerang could be if elimination did nothing except re-roll your character trait. It could give you a second wind if you get a trait you're better at acting as, while not being a crushing blow.
Contrary to its name, Quixort doesn't seem like a particularly quick sorting algorithm, but I guess there are worse ones.
I do like that fibbage sequels let you not memorize the questions (which I did accidentally with many previously)
Thank God, that this is a (NEW) video
Silok I've always appreciated you has a CZcamsr ya really say your honest opinion on the game or topic and it's genuinely fun to watch I know ya get a lot of flak about it but I appreciate it keep up the good work 👍
Great video man. Nonsensory is definitely my favorite game of the pack this time around lol
Also obligatory "There I am, Gary!" at 28:06

RE: Quixort I think you don’t think you put as much stock in the fun of watching the other group as you should. You compare it to Poll Mine where it helps to pay attention, but the fact that you DON’T have to pay attention also has merit.
There’s no pressure to know what they’re working on, you get to enjoy the bickering and “I told ya so” remarks back and forth, and the schadenfreude of watching the other team struggle with a tough category while you kick back and smile is quite satisfying. I love watching my friends struggle while my teammates look at each other relieved that we didn’t get THAT prompt. I also enjoy sneaking a glance at a teammate when we both know the other team just messed up. The game opens up to a lot of bickering in the best possible way because we can razz each other back and forth…like “I TOLD YOU that was before this!”
I’ve cooled on all these games since I first played them, but I still like them all..minus junktopia.
Looking forward to the reviews of 7 and 8 by the way since I just bought them in the last month.
Interesting to see this review coming out now, but I’m not complaining. I haven’t played these games too much yet, but they all seem to range from solid to quite fun, at least from my experience.
A new post from my favorite Jackbox CZcamsr
30:46 dang he called me out
The fibbage art style makes me think of Monty python
Fibbage 4'a fan facts are my favourite question type
It's like the VHS ones but ridiculously charming and hilarious, maybe because it feels more personal since it's about someone you can see? Idk
I feel like a way of dealing with the waiting in Quixort could be to have both teams play at once. And instead having a do-over for round three, the teams could pick between a do-over, or a new mini round for bonus points
This idea probably needs fleshing out, but I thought it might be an interesting suggestion
I played this pack with some friends, and I was the only one who didn’t play the demo with them. And they said that non-sensory was the worst thing and now I’m sad I never got to play it.
The only reason to write an answer that could fit both is so that some people might pick it for one side and some might pick it for the other. But if you had a really great answer for one side that you're sure people will pick, why wouldn't you just pick to make it for one (Other than the fact you're not supposed to)
I personaly think roomerang has one of the best presentations in all of jackbox. From the great ost to the fun animations.
actually I think roomerang has different rounds sometimes? Because sometimes I see other prompts...? I think, memory blanking.
I personally like it because when you roleplay as Not Yourself it becomes hilarious! especially on party nights which is a long time commitment sometimes hehe. it is a fun time!
Babe wake up new SilokHawk review
my group of friends think it's the best jackbox
we legit don't have an issue with any of the games, then again, we're normally playing late at night
You and jackbox is a delicious combination🥞
I'm really late to commenting on this video but unless I'm missing something, I really fail to see why Junktopia isn't a drawing game. The majority of the PNGs they give you are extremely boring and don't lend well to comedy at all, but I can imagine the game having the potential to be just as funny as Tee-KO or Champ'd Up if the players had to draw the objects first and then have them randomly assigned to each player instead.
It wouldn't be particularly hard to change the theming either, I think a group of artisans desperately trying to get their Etsy store to blow up would be a pretty funny setup for a game. Junktopia as it is just feels like one big missed opportunity honestly.
28:46 Bro, that was so random 😂
Nonsensory's post vote wait times are fine, ive never noticed since we are all chatting about the prompt we just saw and why people voted for what things anyway.
i've noticed that people who rank roomerang pretty low don't take the game's advice on roleplaying as another thing or character through name entry ALONGSIDE your job/role. seing weird character-personality combinations or having the mystery of who could be who through the whole game really increases the funny value and keeps you engaged through the whole long runtime.
that's how i always interpreted this game- this game has a "nickname" entry for the first time in series history, i don't know how this conclusion isn't universal!
In many of the clips you can see us role-playing by the trait we had.
It's "cute" but it doesn't lead to gut-busting laughs from my past games I've played.
25:53 look ma I'm on tv
37:11 Anyone knows the music playing in the background? It sounds that Persona vibe I like
I've actually played Enough About You with mostly randos and it's definitely interesting
Something I love about Roomerang is playing is fictional characters. It’s fun being Sonic the Hedgehog throwing shade at Peter Griffin
Maybe the reason Fibbage got a sequel is because the last game was 5 years ago, and they might've worried that the trivia would've become outdated.
One problem I have with Fibbage 4 is that if 2 players have the same lie, they'll be 2 seperate options which makes it obvious they're both lied unlike Fibbage 3 where the same lie would be fused so both players got points for guessing it. That's why I prefer 3 over 4.
First party pack 6 and now party pack 9
Nice.
Good video
17:47
Oh shit there I am
Hey! Hi! hello!
I was "Levi" In the Roomerang footage!
New Super Silokhawk?
roomerang is fun if your in like a campaign with them and you play them as the characters
Ok quixort is both my least favorite and favorite game I got to play in pack 9 so far. I’m not a trivia fan but the time I played I somehow managed to convince everyone to side against me. They did pretty well up to the last round, where I was stuck against a horrible prompt and the mystery. Then the game gave me a prompt I knew like the back of my hand so they rage quit on me. Never playing it again because it’s slow and I hate trivia but that experience will stay with me.
Junktopia is that awful job interview question where the interviewer goes "sell me this pen", but less awful
*did silokhawk just skipped to 9?*
Well It’s A Jackbox Video So YEAAAAAAA.
*Now he’s only missing 7 and 8 so epic.*
I have barely played these games but I’m commenting to help the algorithm
I think we can all agree this guy makes great content!
Good job being trendy silok
Honestly, Junktopia reminds me of an old video from years ago by JelloApocalypse, where they found crappy/bootleg items on Amazon to show to each other in a "The Price is Right" type of format. I think that video partly worked better because they were able to go out and search for an item that they knew they could riff on and make up stuff about, rather than Junktopia where it seems like you're just given some random pictures with no context and have to go from there. Being able to search a large catalog might be a bit too hard to manage with Junktopia, but perhaps some guidance from the game about the items themselves actually are, like some silly fake descriptions a la Pikmin's treasures, could help to give players something to work off of rather than just having completely free text and no idea what to put in for it.
Nobody tell Silok he forgot to make the videos on Pack 7 and 8
We're skipping 7 and 8 until a couple months? Okay!
nonsensory once gave me a final round where I got, a nail clipper. and a fucking anteater.
I have actually seen fibbage 4 combine same lies like previous entries! I'm unsure why they didn't merge for you, perhaps report it as a bug?
I think it's specifically Enough About You that doesn't merge. The main game even has special voice clips for when many people say the same thing. Anyway, yeah it's a bug and I hope it gets fixed
Fibbage I feel gets new games so they can have updated wacky prompts for recent events
I’m definitely getting 9 because of Cookie Masterson
3:16 Which I was going to submit a "Fibbage 4" Question and be apart of "Jackbox Game's" history but didn't got the chance to do it due to two thing's.
1# Permission.
2# Age Requirement.
Thanks to those two requirements, I didn't gotten the chance to tell my actually happened Fibbage Question where.
"One time, I was in my Nanna's room getting change for school before a rat came into the room and I have to asked my Mom to get the rat out of the room, Which by using a cat was useless"
Which now I am thinking on skipping it but unfortunately, The music and gameplay of "Nonsensery" is just, To, GOOD! 24:57 And "Quixsort" Being a Descent game into it's music too 👌🏻 30:24
15:33 That’s not irony.
I love fibbage, but I feel like the new looks aren't as good as 3. I think they could've selected another game, also considering we never got any sequels of any game out of packs 1,2 and 3. Also the removing of the final round in eby is pretty sad, although it's mistakes, it wasn't that bad in my friend group. Also some minor things: this pack has 2 extra games, I miss the team naming stuff of poll mine and finally, Noncensory base idea is the same as Wavelength
This is probably an unpopular opinion but I completely disagree on Fibbage 4 being an unnecessary sequel. If anything, Drawful: Animate may be just that. All it adds is just one frame to draw and one more color. Also "Friend Mode" too I guess but nobody plays that. The visuals are different too I guess, but honestly the aesthetic of Drawful 2 combines much more with the vibe of the game. So it's difficult to say that the Animate aesthetic is "better" in this case.
Fibbage 4 is more Fibbage, yes. But the additional new rounds and the amazing final round are much more game changer than anything Drawful: Animate did. And, as you mentioned, the aesthetic is quite possibly the best in the series. It's too bad the Enough About You return was a total letdown with it not having a final round.
Also, you didn't mention this in your video, but Pack 9 will be the first Pack to actually be translated into multiple languages. So for myself being a Spanish speaking user, having a completely localized Fibbage is mind blowing. For those people whose primary language isn't English, you can imagine just how much more difficult it is to play this game.
Good video nonetheless. Agreed with pretty much everything else you said.
the artist in me absolutely loves drawful animate (especially how you can animate your own little icon) but I can understand how some people don't like it
@@krubbington That's the thing. When there's a sequel but some people prefer to play the previous game I think you can say it's not a really good sequel.
I think making new Fibbage games is just to make new trivia questions. Every game only has a limited number of questions (though it's a metric shit ton of them), and you can still get repeats so maybe the new games are their way of preventing you from getting bored by getting the same.questions
That said All About You had infinite replayability so
I really like pack 9 but my only problem with it is the pacing of every games. I guess Fibbage 4 doesnt really have that problem but still. I especially hate how LONG Roomerang is. Why is round 3 as long as the other rounds when its called "quicky". It honestly could have been shorter. Even Monster Seeking Monster has 6 rounds and feels more fast paced
Review number 6, then reviewed 9 lol
Wow subtitles after 7 years they added it.
With Jackbox 1-5 being in a single bundle, I cant wait for Jackbox 10 to release.
I'd be able to pick up the rest of the games for a heavily reduced price as long as the Jackbox team actually make a bundle for 6-10...
What happened to the reviews for Party Packs 7 and 8?
I think something was wrong with your fibbage 4 because when I played it awnsers combined and we all had 2 questions in enough about you but maybe that'd because we had 4 players
Epic
Wasn't sure about this pack until you got to nonsensary
What if junktopia and bididoits combined into one game
Quixort is a little stupid becase you could get an easier theme than your opponents.
Also it's basically unplayable half of the time if you are not from the USA and/or native English speakers because of how many themes will be TOTALLY unknown to the players.
In a normal trivia game if the subject matter is unknown too bad, but you still have the next question.
In this game you are stuck with that theme until you are completely done sorting it.
What happened to the videos for 7 and 8?
Edit: 38:26 Never mind
Hey i mean average game of monster seeking monsters is kind of long but it depends
Even after watching this video I still don't know how to play Roomerang
play by your selected personality and stay in character based on what it asks you
Nonsensory is very heavily influenced by mindwave so I wouldn't call it "original"
Yo. Nice
I'm in this one :)
also
IM INSANE!!!!
Honestly, me and a friend didn’t like playing fibbage 3 that much, but fibbage four was so fun that we played it like 4 times when it came out!
I think the questions, even tho you can’t tell on the surface, are better in general and just more fun
Can't Believe He Skipped 7 and 8
Did 7 and 8 get skipped?
The reason why chicken little was a trash answer is because it specified US movies while Chicken Run is British
Despite Chicken Run being made by the team that worked on Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run specifically was produced and distributed by DreamWorks which is an American company. In fact the movies first premiere WAS in America.
When silok season 4
Redundant question but where are the reviews for 7 and 8
Me waiting a mario kart 7 video
Cool
Roomerang could have elimanated people by making them part of the audience.
To be fair for the fibbage pick, it's also the first party pack to be translated internationally, so the only one non English speaking player can play
I would like to say that SHY GaY has cat ears
I haven't played all of the games but I actually enjoy Junktopia for what it is. It wouldn't surprise me if it's cause I'm not playing it right though since what I like is trying to come up with the most extremely inane and stupid descriptions for anything at all. Though that's what I think right now, I'll probably need more game sessions to really solidify much and probably need to some really mundane stuff.
