My favorite entry in The Jackbox series.
I really like the Jackbox series. Just as Knowledge is Power, it is a party game with lots of fun, silly animations and a high replay value.

Unlike Knowledge is Power however, Jackbox is a little bit more versatile. Instead of being bound to your PlayStation and your smartphone, you can now use your phone or your pc/laptop to connect to jackbox.tv, and play. The connection and overall stability of the game is also a lot better.

There are many Party Packs for the Jackbox games. Each pack offers a set of minigames that you can complete with your company of friends or family. Most of them revolve around choosing the funniest answer, predict who might have answered a certain question in a certain way, or, in general, just who made the most ridiculous drawing. Throughout the mini games, players score points, the player with the most points wins. Easy and simple.

Of all the Jackbox Party Packs, the fourth one is my favorite.
In this Pack, you got Fibbage, in which you guess weird facts about your friends. Then you got Monster Seeking Monster, a dating service for monsters in which you need to come up with your best pickup line. You also play Civic Doodle, where you create unique art to brighten up the city. One can only imagen the amounts of d!cks on the wall.

In Bracketeering, You create random words for based on earlier questions. These are put in brackets, and players vote and bet on the best one in a match of two answers. Those then advance to the next round, rinse and repeat.

Lastly, my personal favorite, Survive the Internet. Here, you respond to headlines you read on the internet, after which another players comments and uses that response on their own vile creations. This results in ridiculous articles and frontpages with non sensical nonsense. Players then vote for the most fun answers, and that player wins.

The animations and art style of The Jackbox Party Pack 4 is colorful, jolly and silly. My biggest compliment here, is that all animations and slides within the games, are really fast, keeping the pace of the game at a very healthy levels.

The silly sounds, the jolly music in the background, enhances the experience and lets you have a good time with the game.

With the right company, I can get aches in my stomach from laughing and I think that The Jackbox Party Packs are the best party games out there by far. Especially this one.

In the end, I can only praise The Jackbox Party Pack 4 and recommend it to everyone.
