Description

You Don't Know Jack is a humor and sarcasm based trivia game for up to three players. Not only can you be insulted and belittled by the host, you can laugh at your friends when it's their turn. Nonexistent learning curve and easy to comprehend game mechanics make this a great party game -- no matter how drunk you are.

Trivia

This game was originally prototyped as a Hypercard program by some Mac fanatics at a company called Jellyvision. When looking for a publisher for a commercial version, they immediately thought of Berkeley Systems because of their place in Macintosh culture.

The timing was perfect, as Berkeley Systems' former main business, the After Dark line of high-quality animated screensavers, was faltering with the advent of cheap slide show screensavers and the exhaustion of "A list" licenses like Star Trek and The Simpsons.
