The game starts with players asking the Wheel a question. Unless you’ve dug through the archives and skimmed through some of my older reviews, you probably don’t know that I’m a big fan of local multiplayer games.The Wheel of Enormous Proportions is the fourth game to be announced for The Jackbox Party Pack 8, having been announced on July 15, 2021. Sure, online is great and all, but there’s a sense of intimacy and camaraderie that can only be cultivated by sitting in the same room with your friends and family, and sitting down to play something together. Whether it be the intimidation that some feel when it comes to video games in general, or the lack of necessary devices and peripherals required, there are plenty of excellent games that have (for me) fallen by the wayside, simply because I found myself with no one to play with. This is where the Jackbox Party Pack shines. Released last year, this collection of short, hilarious titles did party games right. Laughs and humor aside, its biggest draw was its ease of use, eschewing the need for plenty of controllers and a tangle of wires. Rather, the game wisely allowed players to join in via their smartphone or tablet, with a easy to use interface to boot. Needless to say, the original pack saw a lot of playtime during gatherings and parties, and Jackbox Games has returned with the aptly named Jackbox Party Pack 2. Sporting a similar interface and the same level of support for phones and tablets, this new pack bundles in five games, two of them being refreshes of previous Jackbox titles. For the sake of organization, I’ll jump into each one individually, rather than jumping back and forth. The original Fibbage was easily the standout title from the first party pack, and it’s returned in full force with Fibbage 2. At its core, it’s a fairly simple trivia game, that tasks players to come up with their own answers to obscure and esoteric questions, rather than simply vying to figure out the correct answer. After everyone has inputted their own answer/lie, each player will vote on an answer they think is true, with the game throwing in the actual truth into the mix, along with a few extra lies.
