The Jackbox Party Pack 5 is the perfect blend of hilarious board game antics (think Cards of Humanity) and leverages on a tool that everybody carries around, their phone.

This game is a classic game. The goal of the game is to remove the sticks from the tube while letting the least amount of marbles drop. When it’s your turn, you open your compartment so that any marbles that fall will end up in your compartment. At the end of the game, each player counts their marbles. Whoever has the fewest, wins! It’s a riveting game guaranteed to bring the whole family together. It’s also really quick so it isn’t much of a time commitment.
