Standalone variant of Mr. Jack. As in Mr. Jack, one player takes on the role of Mr. Jack, the other takes on the role of a detective.
But there are new possibilities – gas lamps and manholes are represented by pawns that can be moved.
The game takes place in Manhattan, and the surrounding water is very important for Mr. Jack's escape.
The characters will have new powers and there will also be a police spy, who can obtain valuable information.
This version of the game is more strategic and complex, so it is suitable for more advanced players.
London – November 19, 1888
As part of the investigation into the "Jack the Ripper" case, Francis J. Tumblety, a quack doctor, is arrested and released on bail. He immediately fled to the United States.
New York – Manhattan Island – January 1889
Alerted by London, the New York police are looking for Tumblety. Some witnesses confirm his presence in Manhattan and crimes are committed with a modus operandi similar to those in London.
The police are bringing in some of the city's most prominent citizens to help with their investigation.
Is Tumblety really Jack?
If not, who does he claim to be? These are the stakes of “Mr Jack in New York”.
