There desperately needs to be a way to ban players based on their Twitch name and/or IP from either the game or the Jackbox site itself. So I’m not sure if there’s spaces or underscores not showing up in names, but there was no way to prevent them from doing what they were doing. Also, the Twitch names listed in the game? I couldn’t find them.
I even had on options that force players to be logged in with their Twitch names, and also provided the room code selectively to viewers, but still had the same people show up. I streamed a few hours of the pack and had to deal with trolls making racist or offensive names joining my game, which I couldn’t block or ban in any way that I could find.
I think my single biggest complaint, however, is one that has been long-standing with the series in that its moderation features for streamers is somehow still lacking. Shouldn’t have a say in the matter other than perhaps a vote. Game, which doesn’t feel great or well designed. Say “these humans are the aliens” and essentially end and win the Telling the game can be ended pretty early on.

If you like making cringey dad jokes, climb aboard the Joke Boat. This, like many games in this pack, requires a lot of the entertainment value to come from the people you play with, and if they aren’t funny-at all-you’re going to have a bad time. and then use those entries to fill in setups for jokes followed by your own typed-in punchlines. You and your friends essentially play adlibs by typing in entries to prompts like nouns, pronouns, an animal, etc. Joke Boat is maybe my favourite entry in this collection, but only because it might be so bad it’s good? You get preselected comedians with random catchphrases they say after each joke they tell that make little to no sense, much like Larry The Cable Guy’s “Git ‘er dun” catchphrase.
Point that even winning didn’t feel rewarding.
It’sĬolourfully animated, but the scoring and end goal is a bit confusing to the The most part, it’s just a way to dunk on your friends’ personalities. There are pop culture references here and there, but for Picking and choosing which of your friends fit certain traits and then seeing Models is the first new entry in the series and mustīe played with people that somewhat know each other since you’re essentially
