    It looks like Jackbox games are already back at it with two games. They announced The Jackbox Party Pack 3 as well as Drawful 2.

    Drawful 2 will be out this spring as a standalone title while TJPP3 will be out in the fall. I personally didn't find last year's TJPP2 quite as good as the original (with the exception of the wonderful Quiplash), but as a whole they remain my go to party games when friends visit. I'm definitely excited for these and will be picking them up when the time comes.

    I can't wait to play more Drawful! However, I feel like launching another separate game is a missed opportunity. I'd much rather have this released as DLC for the original Party Pack.

    I wish they would offer all of these as DLCs for a Jackbox Party Pack service, with new games every few months, instead of doing these yearly releases. I guess people just wouldn't buy the crappy games lol.

    Hope one of the games is a new YDKJ. I was a bit disappointed when JBPP2 didn't have one.

    I was REALLY disappointed at the lack of Drawful in Party Pack 2... Overall I was fairly underwhelmed with 2, as seems the be the general consensus. Hopefully Drawful2 is just as fun, if not better, than the first one. Iunno if I'm willing to pay $20.00+ for it though

    @jauntyhat: If last year's Quiplash is any indication of price, it should be somewhere around $10.

    I would probably just buy Drawful 2 standalone and skip Jackbox Party Pack 3 entirely. I don't really have any faith in the Jackbox designers to consistently make fun party games after Jackbox Party Pack 2. Even Jackbox Party Pack 1 is only half good, but it turns out that Fibbage and Drawful are REALLY good.

    I mean, on some level I hope they continue experimenting in case they strike gold again, but I really think the only good things they've made in these collections are Fibbage, Drawful, and Quiplash. You Don't Know Jack is a fun trivia game, but is also a nightmare to play with everyone's phones because the latency is atrocious, and the Jack Attack at the end is wildly unfair depending on whose phone more consistently has lower latency and allows them to buzz in first (this has repeatedly happened).

    I'm perfectly fine with just getting a standalone release of Drawful 2. It not being included in JPP2 hurt that game immensely in my opinion (and Bid-something was just bad).

    Hopefully the scoring system in these games isn't as wildly broken as in some of the last ones.

    I'll get Drawful 2 on its own. All I really want is more YDKJ, Drawful and Fibbage as that's all we play of the First Party Pack anyway and the 2nd party pack looked not fantastic.

    I wish they'd just make a package that contained all of the games that you could buy piece meal instead of what they have now that way you can skip out on the bad ones. Basically Pinball FX but you know, party games.

    I reaaaaally can't wait for more Drawful. Jackbox Party Pack 2 really missed it, but it's still a go-to thanks to Quiplash, more Fibbage and the game where you choose sounds - which can be great sometimes, but is certainly more hit and miss.

    Jackbox Party Pack 2 was underwhelming, so I don't have the highest expectations for the third one. (Bidiots stands out in my mind as a game that totally misses the point of why people liked Drawful on top of being too complicated for what should be a dumb party game) but I'll totally be down for an affordably priced Drawful 2.
