Mr. Jack
In Mr. Jack, one of the two players represents Jack the Ripper, who will be one of the eight characters on the board. This player knows which character is Mr. Jack, and his goal is to flee from the district as soon as possible (or avoid being accused for eight turns). 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!
What is Mr. Jack
In Mr. Jack, one of the two players represents Jack the Ripper, who will be one of the eight characters on the board. This player knows which character is Mr. Jack, and his goal is to flee from the district as soon as possible (or avoid being accused for eight turns). 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!
During each turn, the players move the characters, using their special powers and placing them either in shadow or light. At the end of each turn, the witnesses declare whether Jack is visible — that is, in light or adjacent to another character — or not (alone in the shadows). This allows the investigator to know which characters are innocent. As the turns progress, the investigator tries to eliminate suspects while Jack tries to escape. Intuition, logic, and cold blood will be necessary for each of the two participants.

No comprar. No me ha gustado
Genial para 2 personas. Juego que tiene algo de deducción, un pelín de faroleo y muchas gestión de movimientos. Fácil de explicar y de jugar y con una duración de menos de una hora es un excelente candidato para jugar en pareja. Dicen que está desequilibrado a favor de Jack, pero aun así se arregla echando dos partidas una con Jack y otra con el inspector.
Players: 2.
Juego de deducción para 2, me decepcionó un poco, aunque es un juego para jugar con los mas peques
Interesting deductive 2-player game. Maybe this game is too difficult for Mr Jack. Juego deductivo muy interesante. Me ha dado la impresión de que es demasiado complicado para Mr Jack
Juego de 20-30 min. muy profundo. Indispensable anticipar jugadas. Mecánicas similares a juegos de miniaturas (cada personaje tiene una habilidad), a Master Mind (deducción) y a Cluedo (cartas de sospechoso), pero es un juego absolutamente diferente. Pegas: Jack lo tiene más dificil. Se vuelve repetitivo. EDITO: Baja hasta un 7.1 por encontrarlo más abstracto de lo que me está gustando últimamente.
Buen juego de deducción para dos, aunque un poco desequilibrado.
El juego se basa en una buena idea con mecanica interesante. Pero lo veo algo desequilibrado del lado del detective. De 4 partidas solo una gano Jack y porque se cruzaron los astros.
