Jack

1–1 players · 15 min · 8+

In Jack, you’ll explore the foggy streets of 1800s London, uncover clues, and follow a dark trail of mystery. Your mission: catch Jack before he strikes again. Trace the path on the map, defeat the criminals you encounter, and find the clues that will lead you to the place where Jack will strike. Stop him before he succeeds in his evil plan.

To play, print the map, the 8 cards, and the 8 tokens. You’ll also need a pencil and two six-sided dice. Shuffle the cards to create the deck and place it face down on the table.

Start from the designated starting point on the map and trace the paths you take as you explore. When you reach a point of interest marked with a number, draw a card and try to capture the enemy using your skills and the dice. If you succeed, you’ll earn a clue.

Once you’ve collected 3 different clues, compare your combination with the table in the rulebook. It will tell you where to go on the map to face the final boss, “Jack.” Defeat Jack to win the game!
