Or is that not a thing? I don’t recall seeing much in the way of party games in a self hosted environment.

    I don’t think that is self hosting because I think that the game actually runs on their servers and your deck is just a client. But maybe it actually runs on the deck and the server is just for connecting the clients? 🤔

      It’s definitely not self hosted. Regardless of where the server is running, you have to connect to it using jackbox.tv and I don’t know of any way to play the games without that.

        I’m curious if there’s a desire for a self-hosted jackbox style game that just runs an nginx server in the background people can connect to or something or if thats something like 20 people would actually use.
