What is You Don't Know Jack

Where high culture and pop culture collide... on your game table. This is a table-top implementation of Jellyvision's (now known as Jackbox Games) irreverent CD-ROM/online trivia game.

"Hosted" by wisecracking "Nate Shapiro" (game creator Harry Gottlieb), the game serves as a scorekeeper of dollar values won or lost answering sublimely-worded trivia questions. The game's hard-coded database tracks questions by code, dollar value, and correct answer. A question's code is entered, the question is read aloud by a player, and a sliding door reveals four multiple-choice answers. Players race to buzz in, either to answer or to "screw" an opponent by forcing the opponent to answer. The game reveals whether or not players answer correctly and adjusts scores accordingly. High score after ten questions wins.

Includes 125 question cards with 500 total general knowledge questions. At least two expansions were released--a TV Pack and a Movies Pack--each adding 113 cards with 450 (TV) or 452 (Movies) additional questions in the set's given subject. (More expansion sets may have been planned, but were not released.)
