Blog Post 7: JackBox Game

Discuss mechanics and your experience with your peers in the game.

In the first JackBox game that I played, the mechanics that I noticed are:

Voting, I Cut, You Choose, Player Elimination

The noticed the voting mechanic at the start of the game. Every player need to vote between other two players answer.

I think there is a I cut, you choose mechanic in this game because one players choice is being judged by other player.

There is also player elimination in this game because one player is eliminated base on how many votes they got each round.

How does playing with an audience affect the game?

The audience in the second JackBox affect the game a lot more than the first JackBox game that I played. The second JackBox is kind like “I draw and you guess" but a little bit different. The audience have a significant role in this game because they can vote for the best guess. One plyer’s vote is worth 500 points towards the player’s guess. 50% of the audience also worth 500 points towards the player’s guess. That means if one player gets all the audience’s votes then it’s plus 1000 points on top of all the points that he got in this round. At the end of the game the highest score was about 8000. 1000 points that are controled by the audience are very significant in my opinion. I think the audience have a big impact in who win the game at the end.
