📖 About This Game
Jibber Jabble is a game of teamwork, sabotage, and spelling. It consists of⬠several rounds in which you work together to get one person, the Jibber, to⬠guess a secret word based on three clue words provided by the other⬠players. The other players cannot communicate with each other to decideâ¬â what the clue words will be. Instead, they must spell out the clue words one⬠letter at a time. Starting with the player to the left of the Jibber, each playerâ¬â will use their turn to either give a letter, end a word, or play a power card. A⬠round ends when the Jibber has either successfully or unsuccessfully⬠guessed the secret word.â¬
There are two main ways to play Jibber Jabble. Party Mode and Sabotage⬠Mode.â¬â Party Modeâ¬â is ideal for large groups or when you want simplistic,⬠cooperative, and “friendly” gameplay. There’s no point system, you just play⬠as long as you want. Sabotage Mode⬠adds some spice to the game and is better suited for 4 - 9 players who are⬠ok with being pitted against each other. We recommend starting with Party⬠Mode to get used to the mechanics of the game, and then trying out⬠Sabotage Mode if you’re ready for something more.â¬
If playing in Sabotage Mode, players are eitherâ¬â Jabblers or Jestersâ¬â. Jabblers are trying to give helpful clue words - Jesters are trying to covertly⬠sabotage the clue words, either by giving unhelpful letters or by⬠using a power card to disrupt play order.
