If you have others to play it with at least a few times a year they are definitely worth that and more. Even the earliest games still play as well as the newest ones since the underlying game mechanic doesn't really "Age", like it would if you were playing most other games that had multiple iterations.

We went and saw the Mario Bros movie in the theater last week and just for four it cost about $60, and two of them were kids tickets. I have paid more than that and got way more entertainment per dollar out of the Jackbox games. That's not a knock against the movie, more that the benchmark for value in video games is pretty crazy for some.

Sooooo, by my calculation, this bundle would cost $85 for the entire collection from this deal.

Are these games really worth this much?! Watching YouTube reviews they look like a lot of quickly thrown together mini games and doing some research it sounds like this company has been bought, chopped up and sold so many times its all over the place. There really needs to be a GOTY/Complete/Definitive Collection release of this title for something like $29 max!

In terms of how much fun you'll have, it's definitely worth the price. Each pack takes a year to make. While deceptively simple, it takes months and months of play testing to get these games to the perfect level of simplicity and fun. Even then, some of the mini-games are bad, which goes to show that even with a year, it's hard to produce a winner every time.

It's a game that's worth owning based on the friends that you have to play it with. If you're not already having people over regularly for gaming, either video games or board games, you won't get much use out of these games.

You can also play along on Twitch with anybody streaming it (though there are notable delays with streaming) and it's a good way to try it to see if you'll like it.


If I had to give a personal recommendation...
Vol. 3 is our favorite pack due to the combination of Trivia Murder Party, Tee K.O., and Quiplash 2.
Vol 5 is a close second due to Mad Verse City, Split The Room, and the updated version of You Don't Know Jack.

Looking at all the other packs, there are at least 1 or 2 games that we avoid in each. I still stand by Vol. 1 is the worst in hindsight because the games we hate never came back, and the ones we love returned with new versions.

Walmart has 7 for the ps4/ps5 in stores for $5 dollars in like the bins of games so might be worth a pickup if you don't have it.

Nobody is forcing you to get all of them. If you're unsure the value you'll get read the reviews and pick one or two of the cheaper ones and see what you think. If you have one fun evening with them you'll have gotten your money's worth. If you don't like them, you haven't risked much.

I finally picked up 8 & 9 and now I've got the entire set. No regrets on any of them. Some of the games aren't great, and some don't appeal to us, but each pack has at least a game or two we've played enough to get our money's worth at sale prices at least.

Every time one of these grey market key deals shows up FP I gotta wonder if this is isn't at least a little against SD's ToS, right? I mean, these sites have a pretty consistent track record of legal inconsistency...
