This Choice bundle will refresh to bring the next wave of games on September 5, giving you a month to decide on the current selection.

Humble also introduced a brand-new Jackbox bundle filled with titles from the popular party game series. Starting with $1 for Fibbage and $5 for Quiplash, each of the five tiers adds on more and more entries. The bundle contains the original Party Pack as well as 3, 5, 7, and 9 instalments when going for the $20 top tier.
