    The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring a mix of simple mechanics that encourage interaction and conversation among players.

    • “As a standalone Jackbox game, it has some surprising moments and creates great conversations and debates during gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is quite simple with the modes being guessing words on a list ranked high and low, no ranking but guessing as many on the list as possible within a time limit, a tic-tac-toe variant where you have to guess specific ranges, and the paddle 'bounce' mode where your word becomes the paddle like Breakout, and depending on how high or low it is determines its position.”
