Ask HN: What party games do you play with your friends while quarantined?

I just tried a drawing game (Drawful 2) over videoconferencing and it was fun, but now I'm looking for more, any suggestion to make this quarantine more playful is appreciated!

Drawful 2 is currently free on Steam so everyone should get it. It's basically a modern Pictionary.

There are many games made by Jack Box games that all work with a similar interface.

Indeed, thanks. Do you have any recommendations on which ones are the best? They have so many. Also, looking for Italian versions of those games, as some of my friends would be more comfortable playing in Italian, I found out that Quiplash is soon released in multiple languages [1], hopefully soon!

I always liked the original Jackbox Party Pack the most. It had the best mix of games including the original Drawful. It seems like the only game that is available in Italian is the game you've already found:

Draw Something is a decent game too (lots of ads though) and can be played remote or turn based.

While chatting on discord we play

agar.io has a party mode / private room mode
