For fans of Jackbox Games, the developer best known for games like You Don't Know Jack and Quiplash, last year's Jackbox Party Pack was a pleasant surprise: five new and updated Jackbox titles in one download for $24.99. Then, at this year's PAX Prime, Jackbox Games made a surprise announcement: Jackbox Party Pack 2 is on the way later this year, with another five party games. So far, they've revealed three of the included games: Fibbage 2, Bomb Corp. and Earwax. But what about the last two?

Today, we're revealing the fourth game in Jackbox Party Pack 2: Bidiots, a new drawing game from the designer behind Drawful, one of the original Party Pack's standout hits. Bidiots takes Drawful's core mechanic – awful user-submitted drawings – and layers an auctioneering metagame on top of it, complete with deliberately similar drawing prompts, hidden information sent to select players' phones, and a loan shark mechanic allowing players to borrow money for a price.

Above, watch us play a full round of Bidiots, and witness one of the worst drawings of an Oompa Loompa ever rendered by human hands.

Jackbox Party Pack 2 comes out on Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Windows and Mac OS X later this fall.
