It’s a weird ransom note-esque thing to do, but results in some incredibly funny moments, especially if people make the most of punctuation and give detailed answers. From then on, it jumbles up words and phrases and gives them to you to from answers to job interview questions, which are then presented to the group to pick the funniest option. It starts off with you all answering icebreaker questions by typing out your answers. Job Job, on the other hand, is my favourite by far. It’s fun, but just a bit boring compared to the other options.
It’s then that you all have to figure out which answers comes in at which spot, and whichever team does worst loses. I like the idea, where the players are split into two groups and then ranking words based on whatever the prompt is. The Poll Mine is probably my least favourite game in the pack. Also, getting a huge lead and then losing because the wheel hates you is frustrating. It’s an odd mix of luck and knowledge, and it’s fun, but the questions are pretty USA-centric as always. Answering questions correctly nets you points, but so does the wheel landing on one of your wedges in the wheel-spinning round. This one has you all answering multiple choice questions to gain wedges to place on a giant wheel. The Wheel of Enormous Proportions is the trivia game this time around. The other three games in Jackbox 8 are much wordier. You’re not just given printed letter fonts, but can be handed barely legible cursive letters to hide and find, and the font can change mid-game, making it worthless as a clue. It’s a fun concept, but it’s a difficult game to pick up and play and can feel a little finicky at times. With a murder weapon revealed, you all then have to try and find a letter hidden away in the art and accuse someone of being the murderer. You have to try and hide a letter taken from your name in each of your murder weapon drawings – gun, sword, guillotine, and so on – before then trying to match a named accomplice to another player in order to commit a murder. Weapons Drawn has you drawing once again, but this time you’re all potential murders and victims. It’s good fun as always, and while it can be frustrating for those who don’t like drawing, it’s a blast for everyone else. The new twist here is that you actually draw two images, and it works as though you’ve animated them. The prompts are either sayings you’ll recognise, or utter nonsense, but either way you have to make something that represents it so that, when presented to the group, they can come up with witty alternative prompts and try to score points. In Drawful Animate, all players given a prompt and have to draw it.
