Players will then name their own guest they’re bringing to the party and the group will have to figure out who killed each others’ guests by judging the pictures that show up.Īlthough I wouldn’t say that Weapons Drawn was a bad experience, it wasn’t a thrilling one. Depending on the letter this can be a particularly arduous task or extremely easy (I’m looking at you ‘I’).
The catch is that a letter from your name is used as your calling card, something that links a murder to you, and you have to hide it as well as you can inside of your drawing. Each player is both a murderer and a detective who is tasked with drawing a murder weapon from a prompt. Jackbox tends to pull in groups of players who are seeking out something quick, comedic, and casual to play with their friends but this one doesn’t fit as closely as the others as it has an initial learning curve that ends up slowing down the play session for an experience that, quite bluntly put, isn’t worth it even once everyone has it down. Weapons Drawn is a unique enough game, though where it bogs down is its complexity. This one’s likely to be a hard pass for me in the future unless someone else gets an urge to play and asks me to join in. The wheel itself, the real gimmick of Wheel of Enormous Proportions, didn’t add much to the excitement either and there was a collective groan at one point when a near-win resulted in an entire additional round thrown on. I can certainly get on board with timed trivia, but time trivia that requires you to scroll on a smartphone while simply being point and click in a browser was rough. A short time restricted the amount of time that choices could be made and left a couple of the players who were playing on their phones frustrated as those using a browser had a serious advantage. Trivia is hit-or-miss for me in general and I tend to get bored of it quickly, though it was a perfect storm of issues that lost me on this one. Whoever’s space it lands on receives a hefty batch of points with a few surprise landings on it to spice things up as well.Įvery game is going to be subjectively judged and opinions may vary, though this was the game that the group unanimously decided was the worst in the pack.
When the trivia action moves to the wheel, each player places their collected slices onto it and a lucky player gives it a spin. The highest-scoring player receives a slice to put onto the wheel that is visited after every trio of questions. Many of these choices are correct and the player who selects the most correct and least incorrect among them is awarded the most points. A multiple-choice question is posed to the group with well over a dozen answers. The Wheel of Enormous Proportions is most easily defined as a combination of trivia and Wheel of Fortune.
