As with last year’s game, Party Pack 10 will be localised for English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. This year’s game has that at launch though, whereas localisation was added post-launch for Party Pack 9.

Some games take a little time to grasp the concept or lack a certain pizazz, but there’s the dependability of Fibbage 4, inventive format of Roomerang,
