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

Card games and board games with people. New Year's isn't really the time or place for this kind of thing.

This. Considering that you'd want to be with people, it only makes sense that you be analog for a bit.

They're party games you play together in person.

Some have analog-only equivalents but they often require you to have physical equipment, like pictionary basically requires an easel.

I don't really disagree with you, but it's good to meet people where they are. Party games that use a phone is better than no party games at all.

Some people don't have the luxury of being in the same place as the people they're celebrating with. Jackbox games is a popular remote party game, but I am curious if there exists a similar, open, self hosted alternative.
