After selling two items, you'll combine them into a collection, and everyone will vote on their favorite. The more people like your 'valuable antique', the more money you'll earn. You'll then provide two made-up facts about the item, name it, and attempt to present it to the group. The wizard has tasked you with buying ancient artifacts (random junk). If you ever wish to be human again, you'll need to do his bidding and earn the most money by the end of the game. I would say it was mostly meh.Junktopia sees you being kidnapped by a shady wizard who has turned you all into frogs. I can say for myself, I liked the 'choose all the things that belong to X format nice' but wish there was a different mechanic to encapsulate it in. The Wheel of Enormous proportions started out interesting, but the scoring can be extremely lopsided which then leads to just 'he who somehow spun correctly wins.' Many frustrated players. Also the order of things was the same each game, which could be improved by mixing it up, such that you aren't always thinking of what is 2,3,4 or 8 to 1. We only had 6 people, so a larger game might work better. One game faltered as the team discussion became somewhat of a gotcha by one of the teams. Poll mine was decidedly split in opinion. Glad there are multiple colors to work with too. There were fewer 'riffs on the actual title' so it's random luck getting it right than drawful 2. (Aside: I am a little salty that a murder weapon I was given was cherry red convertible, and I had a blue marker, but thems the breaks)ĭrawful animate was enjoyable, especially with the themes. Weapons drawn was liked (most strategizing and deduction) but in successive plays it had some deviant play, which I won't mention here as I think it ruins the game. I think this one depends on who you are playing with a lot. The ability to use the questions words can get you out of a jam, and my crowd liked being descriptive to give others things to work with. Having played a long weekend session of the pack (multiple plays of each game) here's my thoughts: For my part, I got to play with the former, and the game was great once everyone was on the same page. Some people will have the patience for this, while others won't at all. But the learning curve is very steep for a party game, and it takes playing a whole game before the rules actually click for people.

Weapons Drawn: This one is a bit of a doozy. The competitive team dynamic works exceptionally well, and I hope Jackbox returns to it in the future. The Poll Mine: Easily the clear favorite among the people I played with. Best to play this with people who don't mind contributing a lot of writing. Sometimes you get great material to work with, and other times you really, really don't. Job Job: A bit hit and miss, but mostly hit. It's probably best to play with at least six. With a low player count, the wheel section definitely suffers. The Wheel: I can't really review this one, as I only was able to play this one with three players (all the others had five). If not, though, it's not going to change your mind. If you like already like Drawful, this is a decent way to shake things up. Especially poll mines questions, very solid choices.ĭrawful Animate: Pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. They all felt fun to answer and none were awkward. One improvement I notice with all of them, was that the prompts they give we're REALLY good. Overall, I fear it has little replayability. It's cool in a large group and the art is amazing! The game play is a little slow and less intriguing then the others though. Play at least two rounds before giving your opinion. The deduction of each person's drawings is super cool but knowing why or who you're guessing gets confusing. Great game but thoroughly read the rules before playing.

It gives people the words to write answers, so your less creative friends can still come up funny responses. My friends and I were howling at how funny the responses were.
