[@amdmamdhg9630]

In the monster game. You put an emphasis on the mummy and how screwed you are when you are revealed. But the mummy has an added effect. If they date every other player, the curse is lifted. It adds a huge part to the mummy post-reveal, basically the mummy has every previous date they had as a hostage. Everyone who dated them is now interested in having the mummy date new players to lift the case. It also means the mummy has to make a choice pre-revealed, stay low in order to slowly date as many people before being revealed or taking the hostage path

[@CheesyLizzy]

I agree. A better comparison for who would become a black sheep by getting revealed is the Zombie.

[@Usend_Licrua]

it seems reasonable and an interesting choice, i guess another one would be with the ghost, what can i say it's just "date me or i'll break your knees" thing, which may include just make someone not get a date in fear that they will lose a heart while you just go with someone else

[@Tredenix]

@@Usend_Licrua Yeah, and I'm pretty sure the reason the ghost starts with a heart is because that player _wants_ to be revealed early on, to actually leverage that threat.

[@silokhawk]

Super late response but with the mummy, the caveat of the curse being lifted if everyone has said curse doesn’t matter since you can't force other players to date the mummy; And if they haven't dated the mummy, they have the upperhand since everyone else besides them will lose points. The bottom line is that if you're cursed, you don't want to date the mummy so someone else can date it, and if you don't have the curse, you obviously don't want to lose points by dating a mummy, nor will you want to help others out by lifting the curse.

Break the Internet alwaus ends up being the most hostile Jackbox in my playgroup, and I actually love it for that.

[@Gungameguy11]

So uhh, your favourite jackbox game is Wreck it Ralph 2 ?

[@Tredenix]

11:17 I've played SO MANY rounds of this game where at least one person filled in every prompt as if it were a news headline, because that's the example it shows in the tutorial.

[@PolarOpposite]

i love this series because reviewing these games are really hard. the quality of the games almost always depends on who you're playing with so i commend you for reviewing these critically as individual games, rather than writing them all off as 'fun party games with friends'

[@Ty_Harts]

Would like to point out that the robot in monster seeking monster kills humanity but most monsters aren't human so it's especially weird

The Fibbage 3 Soundtrack is probably the most iconic Jackbox game OST yet. Absolutely incredible!

[@BraxtonKovary]

Easily one of the most underrated Jackbox Party Pack

[@thewholecircus]

I really love this one, and none of the games got sequels, making it super unique.

[@sinancothebest]

It is my favorite pack honestly, and ultimately the most well rounded pack; it has no bad games! Fibbage 3, Monster Seeking Monster and Survive the Internet are all top games and none of the games are made obsolete by sequels. Also all of them are perfectly accessible through online gaming or streaming, unlike most other packs which always have a game or two that is strait up unplayable without voice communicating players or even face to face gaming.

[@meowingcarrot]

I'm standing by that Monster Seeking Monster has the best soundtrack. They legit sound like TWRP and Planet Booty - especially the last night song

[@GengarGuy999]

I was especially excited for this, as this party pack is currently the only one I own.

[@caseys2698]

This isn’t a bad one by any means, you could do worse, with the first party pack for instance. If you want to get another Pack, I definitely recommend Pack 3, it’s my favorite. It does have games that have sequels like Silok said, but the older versions of Quiplash and Trivia Murder Party are perfectly playable and still hold up well today. Also, Tee KO is absolutely hilarious, especially with close friends. I’d honestly recommend Pack 3 for Tee KO alone, it’s that good. (And you can actually buy the tee shirts everyone makes in game, which trust me, you’ll likely want to do!) Pack 5 is also really great, and probably gives you the most bang for your buck, with Mad Verse City and Patently Stupid both being standout hilarious games that my friends and I absolutely love, and I’ve heard nothing but praise for them. Split The Room is also very solid. You Don’t Know Jack is alright, aaaaand Zeepledome is terrible but that doesn’t really matter because the other games are so great 😆 Really, you can’t go wrong with any Jackbox Party Pack (except probably the first one), but if you can only spend so much or don’t want to waste any money, I hope this helps you in choosing another party pack in the future. Cheers! :)

I played this a lot with my family and my mom thinks that the final round of Survive the Internet should be a standalone game.

[@greatsageclok-roo9013]

In all seriousness, I have been waiting for this video. I needed a good objective view of this Party Pack. Currently, I don't see a reason to get it as it doesn't fit with my circle of friends, but it feels good to hear someone review the games individually. Though one thing you didn't say about Monster Seeking Monster that you SHOULD have was how awful the balance of the monster powers are. Zombie is basically an instant-win in most situations, and most people tend to agree that Mummy is an instant-lose. And then the other monsters are just all over the place and/or difficult to make use of.

[@sIungus]

fr, i once had to team up with the only person who didnt get infected by zombie for the entire game just to not let the zombie win.

8:40 in my many games of playing survive the internet, i have not run into this problem. in fact, sometimes the first one gets even more of an edge because its the first thing people see and so it's more memorable. (we all have a human tendency to remember the first and last things in a sequence)

I agree with the part on the prompts in survive the internet. I don't play with too many friends so the other gripes don't apply but the one with the setups does. In the group, me and my buddy are the slightly more funny ones but we get the not funny set ups from other people. Some of the prompts I've received are "sir Roland's robust ass" and "digs in blenders". Like what the fuck am I gonna do with those prompts 💀

Entire point of the msm player cap is that one person ISN'T supposed to get a date, it would be boring if there was no fear of being rejected and everyone just stuck with the same person.

Honestly one of my favorite of the packs. Each of the the games takes the normal themes of regular Jack box games and puts twists on them that I really enjoy. Enough About You will always be one of my favorite games, and Survive The Internet is criminally underrated.

What about for civic doodles you can cut out pieces of the art and re size and move them and use it in a new way. If someone draws something that takes up the whole canvas . Cut it out make it smaller and make more room for drawing . And people could cut out pieces of the art to make new thing. Maybe to keep the game mostly the same you have to cut out a certain amount of the picture and can’t make it too small so it can keep the add to the picture thing.

[@colin3ds1]

Its actually really cool that in monsters seeking monsters the robot AI forces you to not ignore it typically in party games people just ignore the AI and always pick it last and treat it pretty badly but making it so thst neglecting the AI has consequences is really funny

i really dislike the final round of survive the internet. you know how the rest of the game is built around the idea of making the best of someone else’s prompt? weeeeelllllllll in the final round you get to send someone else… one of 2 photos. it’s such a hard limit on creativity, and it doesn’t work well with the rest of the game. instead of being able to type whatever you want into your box, you are limited to one of the 2 choices you’re given. it’s such a sad and anticlimactic final round to a great game. also monster seeking monster is SO UNBELIEVABLY UNBALANCED. out of all of the rounds i’ve played of it, whenever the zombie is there, they get an instant win. the mummy always loses, and the vampire is almost guaranteed to win. the infection spreads so unbelievably fast, and with a 7 player max, any infection is essentially guaranteed to spread to everyone by the end.
