Depending on the group, the prompts can bring out some really interesting answers to work with and the fact that you can pull words from the questions themselves is a cool bonus too. The result is often chaotic, deadpan, or just straight-up hilarious. The game revolves around answering questions about a potential job and using other players’ own words to compose entirely new sentences. Job JobĪnd as if to balance out the two duds so far, Job Job comes out of nowhere and cements itself as not only the best game of the pack, but one of the best games in ANY Jackbox Party Pack. It was really disappointing as a fan of trivia games and even though I do like myself some RNG, this one just doesn’t cut it. The game is effectively RNG layered on top of more RNG and the trivia stuff feels underutilized as a result. It does not even matter if you know the trivia or not, a lot of the time you can simply put in whatever answers and get enough points to spin the wheel and even if you are not spinning it yourself – another player is spinning it with the chance of getting you points.Īnd once you do get to that 20k points, you’re given ANOTHER wheel to spin to determine the winner amongst ALL players with 20k points. Problem here is that both the trivia and wheel spinning are just straight RNG. You’re basically tasked with solving trivia and spinning a wheel in hopes that your score can get up to 20k. This is yet another game where the idea is great, but the execution just does not do it. This one just felt like Drawful with an unnecessary extra step – a waste of a game for a new Party Pack. It can be fun at times with the right group, but honestly, you’re probably better off just playing Gartic Phone, which has a much better animation game mode. That and a lot of the prompts are just boring or use super obscure language that even I needed to google to make sure I knew what I was drawing. A lot of the time, the phrase given can be demonstrated in just one drawing, no animation required. Drawful Animate has some good ideas – create a simple two-frame animation and pit it against a bunch of possible answers – but the underlying “animate” mechanic just falls flat. Every pack has to have a drawing game and unfortunately the one in 8 is a bit underwhelming.
