Jackbox Party Pack Fallout

I'd love to, but realistically I won't have a slot free before Christmas. Keen to see more of you chaps' outcomes though! What's the basis of Civic Doodle? (He says, worried he's going to have to buy 4 and 6 as well...)

I'd do my best to join a regular thing, I've really enjoyed these games of Jackbox with youse. 

That was a willy in his mouth by the way, and the boobs are the baws.

This Saturday will be an evening session (unless something earlier is better for everyone), and I'd be good to go from 19:30 - 23:00.

That'll be 6AM Sunday morning for me, but I'm alright with that.

Ohh yeah Buska, would be good to have you aboard.

I've actually invited little Mikey Stirz Boyz so we'll probably focus on the drawing games.

That's a shame big man. You're more than welcome to drop into the discord channel, even if you can only commit to spectating a round.

Civic Doodle.

Concept: City commissioned art project has been left unfinished; Jackbox players are drafted in to work on the art by committee.

How it works:

Two players start off with the same unfinished drawing - which will literally just be one line.

Each player has about 15 seconds to add to that foundation. Everyone else can see both drawings being made in real time, with the option to spam emojis about what they think is going on. After the time is up, everyone votes for their favourite (more votes for an artist = more points, modified by the emojis). Then two more players are handed the pen, and have to add to the winning drawing. This process repeats about 4 times.

There are two rounds like this and then a final round which involves everyone drawing at the same time, voting for the best, then everyone working off of that. This repeats about 4 times, after which everyone writes, and votes for, a name for the final piece (I can't remember if the naming is part of the earlier rounds or not).

Compared to most Jackbox games, it's a long one, but with a good crowd of people an absolute blast. There's not much down time, and there's something fascinating about watching the chaos unfold live.

Thanks Muss. I know I've not been great at joining in with you fellows' gaming, but I do want to join in and I do love Jackbox a lot - so much so that, having co-purchased 7 on Steam, I then re-purchased 7 on Switch to play with the family over the Christmas break (if I'm allowed to go there...). That said, they're pricier than I recalled - £20+ each! So I probably won't shell out for 4 quite yet, even if Civic Doodle sounds an absolute riot.

I may be a wee bit late to the party tomorrow night as I'm doing a Christmas evening with my sister (wrapping presents, watching a Christmas movie and whatnot) but I should be there for at least part of the night!

That's good work with Horatio! We played some Jackbox with the family on Xmas, which was very nice compensation - although my brother-in-law (a) made his Drawful avatar a hand with a middle finger, (b) didn't draw the hand very well so it just looked like a cock with a pair of segmented balls. Sometimes the funnies bits are unintentional.
