It’s a game designed to be chaotic, forcing players to both work together, and undermine each other, which would be exactly the kind of convoluted, messy gameplay that would liven up any party. In this game, players have to coordinate to accomplish tasks in the totally normal home where devils are pretending to be human. Although it seems that, much like a lot of things in 2020, it’s a victim of circumstance. If there’s one game that did actually bomb (for my groups, anyway), it was The Devil and the Details. Overall it just flows better and feels more like a proper ending to the game. Instead, Quiplash 3 gets rid of this ending and swaps it out for a three-prompt round, where two players are pitted against each other, and can provide three answers to a prompt such as “The three steps to have a perfect little morning.” Each answer is read out one at a time, giving players more of a sense of timing and presentation to their answers. Plus, it’s over pretty quickly in something of an anti-climax. ![]() It’s fine! But having so many answers to one prompt can drive home how difficult it is for your group to be funny. In previous Quiplashes, players would compete to fill in prompts against each other, only for everyone to get the same prompt in the final round. ![]() ![]() However, this version does something crucial: it fixes the godawful endgame. Quiplash is one of Jackbox’s classic games, so putting in a third version feels like a cheat to raise the pack’s average quality.
