![]() Mad Verse City requires a good amount of thought to come up with a rap verse that is both witty and funny, while still making sense. The other players then vote on the rap they liked more, and this goes on for a few rounds. In what is essentially Mad Libs for rap lyrics, players must complete a rap and then go head-to-head with one another. Mad Verse City is one of the more straightforward games here and has players take control of giant rapping robots in a 90s, hip-hop themed city. Third on the list is Mad Verse City, another highlight in the set. My only complaint with the game is the scenarios are a bit too specific, making some of them feel impossible to write a truly divisive answer for. The theme of Split the Room is also charming, adopting a “Twilight Zone” aesthetic, hosted by a somewhat sinister looking cat. This also adds a personal element to the game, where you can tailor your answer to the people you are playing with based on how you think they’d vote. The key is to create a divisive situation, one that would be hard to pick a side for. It’s a bit hard to explain without seeing it in action, but it’s a lot more straightforward in practice. At the end of voting, points are awarded to the player who wrote the scenario based on how evenly the votes were split. The situation is then shown to other players and they must vote on one side or the other. The basic idea is this: players are given a scenario where they must fill in the blank. The next game is called Split the Room and is one of my favorites in the pack. Overall, You Don’t Know Jack is an entertaining game, but not the best it could be, though trivia die-hards will undoubtedly enjoy it. This makes playing the game through a streaming service like Twitch especially difficult, as players with stream lag only get about 5-10 seconds to answer each question. ![]() Though this “trick question” style is interesting, I found the time limit to answer the questions far too short, even with extended timers turned on. Instead, they require you to analyze the format of the question in order to decipher the answer. As far as the game itself is concerned, You Don’t Know Jack is trivia game where the questions are not as straightforward as you’d think. Binjpipe pokes fun at the highly consumable nature of media and online culture and provides a nice source of chuckles while playing. The new version is the “Full Stream” edition, and it features a fake media company called Binjpipe as the backdrop. The first game on the list is the only reiteration, and it’s actually one of the first Jackbox games ever made: You Don’t Know Jack.
