DMAN'S official top 10 Jackbox games

[dmandagiraffe]

Thanks for the request, @King Zaid!

Anyways I'm surprised the idea of making a list like this hasn't popped in my head sooner. As the person who first brought Jackbox to SBC, I find my duty to compile a list of my favorite games in the series only fitting. There's a lot of great games to choose from, but somehow I was able to narrow it down to 10. Let's steer clear of Pack 10 and Naughty Pack to check out the best of the best!

 

DMAN'S top 10 Jackbox games (predict Lie Swatter's placement!)

Spoiler

10. Survive the Internet
Partyboy7 takes us on a wild ride through the best and worst of the internet in this game. I love the concept of taking responses to other questions out of context, it makes this one fun and unique. I only wish it would show the original responses after the twists so that it hits more, but whatever. This one's still great.

Spoiler

9. Joke Boat
A lot of people are mixed on this one, but I find it hilarious. Oftentimes it's not really a game to put effort into; the stupider the jokes are, the more I'll laugh at them and the more I'll be likely to vote them. The catchphrase screens are just the icing on the cake.

8. Tee K.O.
I suck at drawing, but thankfully you don't need to be good at art to win this game. All you really need is a good combination of drawing and slogan. It sucks when you don't even get that, but it's made up for when you see everyone else's shirts. Lots of potential for laughs here.

Spoiler

7. Blather 'Round
The best Jackbox game to shitpost in. Whenever I can't figure out the prompt I can still find enjoyment in typing whatever comes to mind and hearing the TTS voices try to pronounce it. It's stupid, it's pointless, it's a ton of fun. Airport. Zaddy. 7? 7? 7?

Spoiler

6. Roomerang
This is the kind of game I was waiting for out of Jackbox; REALITY TV! The eliminations (while not permanent) make this one super fun, giving every contestant one last chance to flip off the other players if they so desire. I wish we got to play this one more often.

Spoiler

5. Split the Room
Mayonnaise. Need I say more? I guess so. Coming up with ridiculous scenarios is such a good time. Sometimes I don't even care if mine don't split the room, because just putting the scenario in front of everyone to see is fun enough as is. Also, Mayonnaise.

Spoiler

4. You Don't Know Jack
Trivia is fun! Especially when it's trivia centered around pop culture where you have to put some work in to make sense of what the questions actually want out of you. Looking at you, gibberish questions. Also I am part of the Cookie gang. Cookie is way better than Schmitty will ever be. 

Spoiler

3. Job Job
Out of the way Mayonnaise, M. Bubs is the best Jackbox host. Oh yeah, and the game's amazing too. You can make just about whatever sentences you want here. Type a long, rambling, incoherent passage, or just type one word! The potential is nearly endless! I crave a Job Job!

Spoiler

2. Quiplash
Despite the presence of Schmitty, this is consistently one of the most fun games to play. The prompts are fun to work with, every sequel brings something new to the table, and it manages to work every time. There's a reason why this is one of the most lauded games in the series, it's always hilarious.

I was going to put some honorable mentions in the next tab, but only Fibbage and Drawful came close. You know what, throw Dodo Re Mi in there as well; that's one thing I'll admit Pack 10 did well. 

Spoiler

1. Trivia Murder Party
Maybe [redacted] is the best Jackbox host, IDK. Depends on if we ever get to see him. Anyways, I love everything in this one. Thanks to the awesome minigames you don't even need to be great at trivia to get to the end, though it certainly does help in the final round. Trivia Murder Party 3 when?

Spoiler

0. Word Spud
No Lie Swatter for you. Only Word Spud.

Spoiler

-1. Monkey Game
Monkey, monkey monkey? Monkey monkey monkey monkey monkey monkey. Monkey. Monkey? Monkey, monkey monkey monkey monkey monkey monkey monkey monkey. Monkey monkey, monkey monkey monkey! 

Spoiler

-2. I FUCKING HATE YOU
FUCK THE WHEEL THE WHEEL DESERVES DEATH EVERY SINGLE WHEEL I'VE EVER MET IS A FUCKER THE WHEEL

Spoiler

-3. Lie Swatter
Just kidding, here it is.
