Description
This time, catch Jack before he slips away! Dive into the pocket - sized version of the beloved strategy investigation game, Mr. Jack. One player becomes the inspector, aiming to expose Jack the Ripper, while the other plays as the elusive criminal. The new game mechanics take place on a 3 - square - sided board. Each square represents a London street and a suspect. Holmes, Watson, and a police dog tokens are placed around the board. On each turn, players use 4 action tokens to move investigators, reorient tiles, or draw suspect cards. Suspects are only visible when in the investigator's line of sight; those hidden by buildings are invisible. At turn's end, the Jack player says if the guilty suspect is visible. If not, Jack gets an hourglass. Jack wins by getting 6 hourglasses, and the inspector wins when only one suspect remains. This pocket - friendly board game offers new and exciting mechanics, breathing fresh life into an old classic.
How to play: First, decide who will be the inspector and who will be Jack. Set up the 3 - square - sided board with Holmes, Watson, and the police dog tokens around it. Each turn, the current player uses 4 action tokens to move investigators, reorient tiles, or draw suspect cards. The inspector tries to spot the guilty suspect, and Jack tries to stay hidden. At the end of each turn, the Jack player tells if the guilty suspect is visible. If not, Jack gets an hourglass. Jack wins when he gets 6 hourglasses, and the inspector wins when only one suspect is left. Note: Make sure to keep track of the visible and hidden suspects accurately. When handling the tokens and cards, be gentle to avoid damage. To maintain the game, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the tokens and cards in the provided box to prevent loss.
