CHAMP'D UP - 1/1
Potentially the best drawing game Jackbox has to offer where players draw complimenting characters with obscured information to battle them out. It has remarkable pacing leading to a 1-2 punch of a hilarious drawing following up with something even funnier to bring the punchline home.
BLATHER ROUND - 1/1
A ridiculously fun guessing game where you have to discern a person's prompt based on hints they piece together using a fixed bank of words and sentences, it's incredibly replayable, but also quite cozy as a downtime game.
QUIPLASH 3 - 0.5/1
As I've said in other reviews, sequel games only get as much as 0.5 stars for me as they always feel like underwhelming filler, Quiplash scrapes on by on the basis of being good however you play it, but it feels extremely unneeded here.
THE DEVILS AND THE DETAILS - 1/1
WarioWare with a touch of teamwork and yelling, Devils is a fun and chaotic time and feels incredibly satisfying to play on its higher difficulties.
TALKING POINTS - 1/1
Before starting Talking Points, you have to make a list of presentation titles that will get shuffled amongst your friends, and straight away it's already one of the funniest games in Jackbox, it's tricky to convince people to try it as it takes a lot of improv, but the outcome is never disappointing.

The best Party Pack and its barely even a contest. Quiplash 3, Champ'd Up, and Talking Points are pretty much my top 3 jackbox games. The other two (Devils + the details and blather round) definitely aren't as insanely good as the rest, but they're still definitely far from bad and you’ll have fun with them every once in a while that someone wants to play them. If you only want to buy a single party pack, this is easily it.
quiplash 3 (4.5/5) - the best quiplash. the safety quips are actually good, and the art style and prompts are amazing.
devils and the details (2.5/5) - not the worst, but action jackbox games are always not great, it can be fun SOMETIMES but it's really hard to play online
champ'd up (5/5) - one of the best jackbox games hands down. i don't even like drawing, but this game makes it fun. maybe even the best jackbox game ever.
talking points (1/5) - not for me. i can't talk fluently at all, and hate that this game requires out loud play. i'd rather play any other game
blather round (3.5/5) - it's pretty good, but it suffers again from lack of prompts, some people memorize all the prompts and just spam them. but it's good in most games

- blather around is criminally underrated, especially if you're playing with a group of people who are autistic. trying to get people who have watched rocky horror picture show to guess rocky horror picture show when you yourself haven't seen rocky horror picture show? incredible. 5/5
- as with most /game-type/ jackbox games, devils in the details will attract a group of people who reallllly wanna win at it once and then not really play it again. 3/5
- quiplash is fun! the most simple game in this pack, but that definitely works for it. i don't know anyone who doesn't wanna boot this one up. 5/5
- champ'd up Okay we still haven't played this one but i REALLY WANT TO ok like joke pokemon. like draws sonic with a gun
- talking points is stressful. an impractical jokers prank of a game. trying to win just makes you less funny. keep it loose. 4.5/5

El calvo es un globo y sale de una caja.
- Quiplash 3: Es el tercer Quiplash y se nota. Quiplash por defecto es muy bueno, pero esta versión tiene una estética interesante y la ronda final es mucho más interesante que en los anteriores. 4.5/5
- Devils and the Details: Un juego cooperativo donde todos tienen que hacer tareas para subir un medidor grupal, pero también se pueden hacer tareas malvadas para ganar puntos personales. A mí me gusta bastante pero entiendo que a la gente no le guste. Requiere coordinación. 4/5
- Champ'd Up: Dibujas al campeón de "algo" y haces que compita contra un oponente para ser el campeón definitivo de ese "algo". Excesivamente bueno, al nivel de Tee K.O. 5/5
- Talking Points: Consiste en hacer presentaciones en cooperación con un compañero. Es muy bueno, pero dependes de que tu asistente no sea gilipollas perdido y que te toque buen material. 3.5/5
- Blather 'Round: Hay que adivinar un concepto o una persona a través de pistas que da un jugador. No está mal, el problema es que las pistas que se pueden dar son muy limitadas y muchas veces se requiere de creatividad para que se entiendan siquiera. 3/5
Puntuación total: 4/5
