Any recommendations for some party games ? We tried https://jackbox.tv/ https://jackbox.tv/ with some colleagues yesterday evening, that was pretty fun.

We did an online pub quizz yesterday, actually worked well! - One general hangout, where everybody's muted except the quizz master - One hangout per team to chat - Google doc to fill in the answers (make sure everybody starts from a template, to easily count points) - Google slide for the questions Lots of fun! I think the quizz master role is more lonely, as you don't really hear anybody (we had 2 masters, I think it helped)

My group played the card-based Snake Oil[1] over Zoom last Friday. The game is out of print, but you can probably find it on eBay, and I believe you can find the list of cards online with some googling. We had one person virtually dealing the cards and everyone was responsible for maintaining their set. It worked very well over a virtual venue. I think this would work reasonably well for Cards Against Humanity and Apples to Apples as well. Pictionary and Charades should also work.
