A novel twist on this formula is a new variant called Fibbage: Enough About You where instead of answering trivia questions you’ll be prompted to reveal a truth about yourself. This always tends to keep people on their toes as the questions range through all sorts of topics and if you find yourself falling into patterns with your answers the likelihood is that your friends will notice this as well. The goal is to come up with an answer that will hopefully fool your friends and then to try to figure out which answer is the real one.
One player will choose the topic from a usually odd list and that will prompt a trivia question. As before it manages to mix unusual trivia with people’s ability to deceive their friends to set the stage for some laughs. We’ll open with the only returning game from previous incarnations, Fibbage 3, which is actually one of my family’s favorites. Rather than dilly dally on the basics we’ll just get right into the games inside since that’s always what makes the Party Packs so special! While the majority of games are for from 3 to 8 players the beauty of them is scalability as additional people are always able to participate and vote as the audience.
The overall format remains the same as ever, with the Switch acting as a hub for running the game and everyone playing on their cell phones. If you own a Nintendo Switch once again you have no excuse for a party with nothing fun to do because Jackbox Party Pack 4 is now available and, as always, it’s quite a lot of fun.
