"If you love Clue/Cluedo, you'll love this one too"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This game plays very quickly – typical games finish within half an hour (sometimes even in 5 minutes if the player playing the Detective is on fire).

Players have to use deduction and careful planning to identify who Mr Jack is. The player playing as Mr Jack must try to evade capture by clever movement of the suspects in the game so as to keep the Detective player guessing.

Great 2-player game – Fun for the family, young and old alike!

"Awesome, quick and gets you thinking"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

We love boardgames and are always on the lookout for one that can be played by 2 people. The best thing about this game is that you can modify the rules if you want to make it harder or easier. The colours are cool, easy to pack up, quick to learn – one run through and you are away

The night covers the gloomy alleys with darkness and only a few corners are still illuminated by the gaslights. Eight investigators have gathered to catch the cunning Jack the Ripper. But Jack is in fact cleverly impersonating one of them…

In Mr. Jack, one of the players must help the investigators. By moving each character into light or shadow, the detective player makes successive deductions to uncover which investigator is in fact Jack, then he/she must try to catch the infamous ripper.

The opponent, playing Jack, must do his best to delay the investigation. He can even try to use the darkness to secretly flee the district!

A thrilling game for two players!
