About Jibber Jabble

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 decide‬‭ 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 player‬‭ 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.‬ There are two main ways to play Jibber Jabble. Party Mode and Sabotage‬ Mode.‬‭ Party Mode‬‭ 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.‬ If playing in Sabotage Mode, players are either‬‭ Jabblers or Jesters‬‭. 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.
