If you desperately wanted the best of the first Jackbox Party Pack, you could just get Fibbage XL and Drawful 2 (which is available separately on Switch). Word Spud and Lie Swatter aren’t memorable. However, if I’m being brutally honest, Fibbage XL is like 50% of why the first pack is great. The new release is $9.99 while the original Jackbox Party Pack is $24.99. I’d venture to say that Fibbage and Quiplash are the best two games in the Jackbox Party Pack era, though they have multiple versions and sequels available.įibbage XL actually was a part of the original Jackbox Party Pack, so even if it is now a standalone release on Switch, it’s already available on the system. Then the answers are put head-to-head against other player’s responses to the same question.

Quiplash lets three to eight players come up with amusing answers (or “quips”) to questions. Players get points for tricking players and also points for guessing the correct answer. All players have to come up with a believable lie to try to trick others to pick as the right answer. Anywhere from two to eight players can play and all are given a fun fact or weird bit of trivia with a word or phrase removed. Fibbage is a novel take on a trivia game, sort of. Regardless, the big question with these releases is should you buy them even when there are six other Jackbox Party Packs to choose from on Switch.īut first off, here’s a quick overview of why both games are a lot of fun. As someone who has been playing Jackbox Party Packs since day one, I always forget that some of these games have origins as standalone releases. I was admittedly a little surprised when I saw Fibbage XL and Quiplash were coming to Nintendo Switch this week.
