Product Description

Get ready to enter the poor and dreary Whitechapel district in London 1888 the scene of the mysterious Jack the Ripper murders with its crowded and smelly alleys, hawkers, shouting merchants, dirty children covered in rags who run through the crowd and beg for money, and prostitutes called "the wretched" on every street corner.The board game Letters from Whitechapel, which plays in 90-150 minutes, takes the players right there. One player plays Jack the Ripper, and his goal is to take five victims before being caught. The other players are police detectives who must cooperate to catch Jack the Ripper before the end of the game. The game board represents the Whitechapel area at the time of Jack the Ripper and is marked with 199 numbered circles linked together by dotted lines. During play, Jack the Ripper, the Policemen, and the Wretched are moved along the dotted lines that represent Whitechapel's streets. Jack the Ripper moves stealthily between circular numbered circles, while policemen move on their patrols between crossings, and the Wretched wander alone between the circular numbered circles.

Letters from Whitechapel Board Game Review

This game is a hidden-movement game that plays out like a collaborative effort to solve a puzzle. One player is Jack and must kill a target every night. From that point until the end of the round, the inspectors must examine around the crime scene until they find his trail. Then the chase is on! The inspectors alternate between searching for clues and trying to get ahead of Jack. If Jack makes it "home", that round is over. Each round, Jack has fewer options for targets, and fewer bonuses to speed his escape. The inspectors can win by capturing Jack or simply by preventing him from reaching his hideout.

The game feels a bit in favor of the inspectors, especially with the optional 'rushing' rule. It's quite fun for Jack, though, sneaking around and trying to outwit the others while not wasting precious time. We've played it three times and each was entertaining. I'm looking forward to gathering friends for another shot soon.
