    The Jackbox Party Pack 6 brings with it four new games and the sequel to Trivia Murder Party. It’s more polished than the previous releases on launch, but none of the new games are particularly great.

    Jackbox 6 is a solid pack with some decent new games, as well as my favorite Jackbox game of all time.

    Trivia Murder Party 2 (1-8 Players,    Jackbox 6 is a solid pack with some decent new games, as well as my favorite Jackbox game of all time.

    Trivia Murder Party 2 (1-8 Players, Inherently Family Unfriendly): The fun-packed trivia deathmatch from Jackbox 3 has returned, and it's my favorite Jackbox game ever. Really. The new minigames, the modern settings, the great soundtrack, everything about TMP2 is awesome. Final Review: Good

    Role Models (3-6 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): Role Models is a game about stereotyping your friends. It's fun, though. A lot of people get turned away because of the official reviews and descriptions of the game, but it can be very fun. Final Review: Good

    Joke Boat (3-8 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): Joke Boat is about making corny jokes from weird presets and presenting them in front of everyone else. It would be really good and fun besides the fact that there are barely any joke presets, which make the game get boring, quick. It's alright, overall. Final Review: Okay

    Dictionarium (3-8 Players, Inherently Family Friendly): Dictionarium was a good idea in theory, but didn't have enough to attract me. It's about creating definitions of fake words with random letters. It's just kinda boring. It's a meh game. Final Review: Okay

    Push the Button (4-10 Players, Optional Family Friendly Filter): A social deception game, Push the Button involves finding the identity of the hidden aliens amongst your ship. In a 10 player game, there are 3 aliens and 7 human. The goal of the humans is to successfully identify and jettison the aliens, while the goal of the aliens is to stay undercover by hacking the other humans to make them look suspicious and hacking other aliens to make them look safe. It has SO MUCH potential. The biggest issue is how imbalanced the chances of each side winning are. If tutorials are enabled, it's really easy for the humans because the alien hacks are held off until quite a while in the game. On the other hand, if tutorials are disabled, it's really easy for the aliens because they can use hacks immediately. Final Review: Okay

    My biggest complaint about Jackbox 6 is that there was no drawing game, which is such a missed opportunity. Overall, it's a pretty decent pack. Nice job, Jackbox.    … Full Review »

    The Jackbox Party Pack 6
    One of the best jackbox packs of all time
    Party pack 6 like every other jackbox party pack, is a package of 5 games    The Jackbox Party Pack 6
    One of the best jackbox packs of all time
    Party pack 6 like every other jackbox party pack, is a package of 5 games best played with 4 or more players and this pack is an abosulte staple in your jackbox collection, featured here is the sequel to one of the best party pack games of all time, Trivia Murder Party 2 Where you and your friends try to be the last one standing and then you compete with their ghosts to be the soul survivor of this trivia game full of laughs and dumb fun mini games, then from great to bad, we have ditionarium, you create the definitions of a word, vote on the best answers. I can see its potential but I personally didn’t care to play more than once, then we have role models, which I loved, youre given a catergory, you then place all of your friends on the phrase that best matches their personality, and you can bet extra points on personality traits youre sure a majority will place a certain person in, you get points based off of how well you know the people playing, and with a group of close friends this game can be hilarious, speaking of hilarious, or at least tries to be,, joke boat, you and your friends are given topics and then you attempt to write a standup comedy bit about that topic,your friends then vote on the best punchline or joke, this game can have its moments, but like mosty jackbox games you need the right people to make it any fun.. and then finally we have push the button.. this game is sortve like among us, but youre all in the room together, there is an alien among you, and your goal is to figure out who that is by placing 2 people at a time into rooms and hve them complete tasks, all while the alien attempts to sabotage the other players to make it seem s though they are the alien, as the alien is given different tasks.. I love these types of game, but this is one that really is at its best with more players, and I found that 4 just doesn’t cut it here..
    All in all,Party Pack 6is one of my favorites and is a must have..
    I give the Jackbox Party Pack 6
