Jackbox Games has a great thing going with its Party Packs. It's way easier to get people to play a game if they already have the equipment, nearly everyone carries a smartphone around these days. I've found that it's far less intimidating to get a group together to play Jackbox games than it is to pass out complicated controllers and explain button configurations. Since all that's required is a touchscreen and internet access, you don't even need a smartphone to join in. At my house, we've lent people who don't have their phones a Kindle tablet or a Wii U GamePad, and they were able to play along just fine.
Ease of access is just part of the formula though, and it wouldn't mean much if the games you were trying to share with your friends weren't any good. Fortunately, The Jackbox Party Pack 3 more than delivers on the promise of quality made by its predecessors. This year's installment continues to demonstrate that no one (no, not even them) makes a better party game. Each of the Jackbox games vary slightly in quality and complication, but all of them are simple enough that everyone can play. More importantly, they're enough fun to keep people coming back. It's a party in a box, just like it says on the label.
