I really enjoy the Fibbage series because I crave trivia, and the addition of the new mechanic does make it feel a bit more like the classic You Don’t Know Jack titles (though still very different). If you can make it through all the rounds and come out successful in both lying and figuring the truth, you will be crowded champion. As you may have figured, Fibbage 2 is all brand new trivia questions, a slightly shinier interface, picking your own buzz in sounds and the addition of the DeFIBulator, a one time use item that can strip out two fake answers, leaving just the truth and one lie. Guess right, get points, get people to guess your fake answer, get even more points. Fibbage is the trivia game where players concoct fake additions to trivia questions and then everyone votes on what they feel the real answer is. Fibbage 2 takes everything that was great about the original and bakes in a few more surprises. There are five different party games to play, each with varying levels of interest, so let’s dive in and see what makes this party rock.įirst up is the sequel to Fibbage, aptly titles Fibbage 2. Unlike Party Pack 1, there are zero activities that use the Switch’s controllers, so it’s smart device or nothing.

Firstly, this is 99% party games, as the title would suggest, and, if you’ve picked it up hoping for a single player situation, well, good news, you get to see what the refund system is like on the system of your choice.

Bidiots (3-6 players) - A spiritual successor to the Party Pack 1 game Drawful.
Earwax (3-8 players) - Players take turns judging other players' pairs of sound effects (which are based on the judge's particular phrase and are made up of six random sound effects given to each player).Players attempt to bluff other players by making up plausible fake answers to trivia questions (while attempting to pick the correct answer themselves). Fibbage 2 (2-8 players) - The second installment of the Fibbage series (after the original game and its Party Pack 1 update), adding a new gameplay mechanic (the DeFIBrillator, which removes all answers but one lie and one truth).Players give answers ("quips") to random comedic prompts, which is then faced head-to-head with another quip for the same prompt (where the players who didn't provide the quips vote).
