I've heard good things about Jackbox Party. Anyone here played those?

Yep, played all of them I think (though we only got pack 4 last weekend, so haven't played everything in there yet).  I'd say each pack contains a couple of hits and a couple of misses, but when they're good, they're really good.  The games definitely benefit from having as many players as possible - and the "best" ones rely at least partly on the people playing them.  Most popular in my household are Fibbage (a bluffing game), Quiplash (a "who can come up with the best punchline?" game), and Drawful (a game about doing terrible drawings).  The games use mobile phones, so you don't need to worry about controllers - and in theory some of them can be played with people who aren't in the room, though really, that's much less fun. So, yeah, they're great if you have a group of people that enjoy sitting around playing games together.  Utterly pointless if you don't.  The reliance on phones means everyone has a controller, but it also means you're playing a game where everyone is staring at their phone screen for most of the duration.  (And laughing.)
