Three Times the Jack, Three Times the Box

The Jackbox party packs are always good at having some minigames that parties can giddily revisit, again and again. Jackbox 3 is remarkable for having, if I dare say so, no weak entries; all of these games are a hoot.

Quiplash 2 is a predicable, and still awesome, follow-up to the original "write a good joke" prompting game. Trivia Murder Party is a fun spin on a traditional trivia game, with madcap mechanics (like lopping off pinkies) that keep it from getting stale. Guesspionage is like Family Feud, but with more adversarial yelling! Fakin' It is a bit hard to understand, but really gets going once you realize that all of your friends - at least the ones you play Jackbox with - are dirty, filthy liars.

The surprise standout, though, is Tee K.O., which is not as much a game as it is an art project. After drawing whatever you want, and writing whatever slogans you want, t-shirt designs get made out of arbitrary combinations of these drawings and slogans. And then there are rounds of voting on the best combinations, but that's hardly the point. You can buy these t-shirts.

I drew a Pac-Man ghost, and wrote "Eat a bag of dicks," and now my friend owns that on a t-shirt.

We live in an age of wonder.
