Mr. Jack in New York

(GAME SUMMARY) Drake says: "Like the original Mr. Jack, Mr. Jack in New York is a 2-player game based on Jack the Ripper, only this time the game is set in Manhattan, New York! One of the two players represents Jack the Ripper, who will be one of the 8 characters on the board. The other player represents an independent investigator (not represented on the board) who tries to guess the identity of Jack. But he can make only one accusation during the game!" (TIPS/COMMENTS) John says: "Spend some time in Manhattan, New York in this excellent “whodunnit” deduction game. The mechanics are easy and fun to learn. There are lots of great strategies generated by each character's special ability!" Designer: Ludovic Maublanc & Bruno Cathala Description: London - November 19, 1888. As part of the case of Jack the Ripper, Francis J. Tumblety, quack doctor, was arrested and released on bail. He immediately fled to the United States. New York - Manhattan Island - January 1889. Alerted by London, New York police launch a search for Tumblety. Some witnesses have reported his presence in Manhattan and crimes similar to those in London are committed. The police then called the most distinguished citizens of the city to assist in their inquiry. Is Tumblety really Jack? If not, where is he hiding? These are the issues of Mr. Jack in New York. 2 players with 8 characters. One of them runs a race against time to uncover the truth of who the Ripper really is. The other works to escape and to distract everyone from the fact that he is the shadow in the night that strangles these far from innocent women. As only one accusation is possible throughout the whole game, players need to pay close attention to who is in the shadows and who remains in the light. Mr. Jack in New York is a standalone game using similar mechanisms to the original game. It cannot be combined with Mr. Jack or the extension. Contents:
