New for this version is the Defibrillator, which each player can use once per game to narrow down there answers to two: the correct one and a lie. Luckily, the devs clearly know their audience, so the right answer keeps pace with ridiculous lies players come up with. A lying-based game, Fibbage has every player write a convincing lie to complete a sentence, then has you try to find the right answer amongst all the bluffs. Second best is Fibbage 2, which, as you may have guessed, is a sequel to the Fibbage game found in the first Jackbox. If you’ve somehow tired of all the quips in the base Quiplash game (which are included here alongside news ones), or never owned it in the first place, then this is probably the best in the box. Then you all go through and pick one answer for each quip, with points split depending on the percentage. A game for three to eight players, each player gives the best – normally funniest, but sometimes smartest – answer to a couple of quips, each of which has also been given to one other player. Quiplash XL is exactly what you would expect. As before, all the games are controlled by using the browser of a smart device to link into your game using a unique room code, a system that works absolutely brilliantly. While there are three new titles in the box however, the best offerings are re-hashes of what has come before. It’s safe to say then that I was very excited for this sequel and the collection of games it would be bringing to my TV. I gave the original Jackbox Party Pack a perfect ten and the standalone follow-up Quiplash a nine.
