Overall, Earwax functions pretty well as a silly noise simulator, but as a game it falls pretty flat. Furthermore, because you only get a handful of sound choices for each prompt, it’s often hard to make a relevant or even mildly entertaining combination of sounds for every given prompt, making luck a larger factor than creativity. The sound pool is relatively shallow, I saw almost every sound with just a couple hours of play. The game is silly and it can be fun to laugh at the bizarre noises, but that’s about all it’s good for. Maybe only five years olds are supposed to still laugh at fart and poop jokes, but that didn’t stop me from shedding a few tears at a farting duck noise. Each player chooses two noises that they feel best represent the prompt, and the judge awards a point to whichever set of noises that he / she liked best.Įarwax has a lot of weird noises to laugh at, and making strange, disturbing, and suggestive combinations is a ton of fun. The premise of Earwax is relatively easy to understand one player will choose a prompt and act as a judge for that round and the other players are given sets of weird noises (for example, “rock dropping in water” or “woman’s orgasm”). However, one annoying announcer doesn’t detract from an otherwise great game. He can be mildly entertaining at times, but more often than not his over-abundant puns and bad jokes left me more irritated than amused. My only real gripe with Fibbage 2 is that Cookie Masterson, the announcer from the first Fibbage, is still as annoying as ever. The newly added deFIBrilator give players the chance to eliminate all but one lie for any one question during the game, and while I wasn’t a huge fan of the feature, it made those extremely punishing questions a little easier to answer. After thirty seconds, they’ll forfeit their answer and the game will pick one instead. The game is extremely fast-paced and never really suffers from any slow points even if you’ve got friends who normally pick answers slower than an iceberg can run a marathon. What makes Fibbage great is that anyone can pick up and play with relative ease. “Likes” can also be awarded for the funniest answers, and at the end of the game the player with the most likes will win the Thumbs Cup.
At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins.
Each player then chooses an answer and are awarded points for picking the real answer, but if they pick someone else’s lie, the liar is awarded points instead. The core gameplay of Fibbage 2 is almost identical to the original: players type in their answers to trivia questions and try and fool each other into picking the lies that they’ve entered. Fibbage 2įibbage 2 is the “sequel” to one of the more popular games of the original Jackbox Party Pack. All of these games are relatively easy to learn and quick to play, so they’re perfect for boring events like family gatherings, your local town hall meeting, or even that yearly seance that you keep holding in order to get those family secrets from great-great-Grandma Peterson.Įach of these games have their ups and downs, so here are my impressions of all of the games that the Jackbox Party Pack 2 has to offer.
Those games include: Fibbage 2, Earwax, Bidiots, Quiplash XL, and Bomb Corp. Jackbox Party Pack 2 is a set of five multiplayer games where you use your phone as the controller. Do you like fart jokes, making fun of people, and lying to your friends? If so, you might want to see a counselor, but in the meantime you also might want to check out Jackbox Party Pack 2.
