Description
In Mr. Jack Pocket, a thrilling game of cat and mouse, one player takes on the role of the infamous Mr. Jack, while the other plays as the detectives trying to catch him. The game is set on a modular board made up of nine street cards, where the suspects, including Mr. Jack, are hiding in plain sight. The detectives, including Holmes, Watson, and a dog, move around the grid, trying to get a glimpse of the elusive Mr. Jack. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 15 minutes, Mr. Jack Pocket is a quick and exciting game of bluffing and deduction. Each round, players take turns selecting actions, such as moving detectives or swapping street cards, to outmaneuver each other. Mr. Jack must stay hidden long enough to escape, while the detectives must use their skills of observation to track him down. With no necessary in-game text, this game is accessible to players of all languages, making it a great addition to any game collection.
