Product Description
ASMMJA04US Mr. Jack Pocket Edition by Asmodee EditionsDiscover the pocket version of Mr Jack, the favorite investigation game of strategy game players!
As in the board version, a player takes on the role of the inspector trying to unmask Jack the Ripper while the other player takes on the role of the fleeing criminal. The difference is in the game mechanics: the infernal pursuit now takes place on a board that is 3 squares to a side, each square representing both a London street and one of the nine suspects.
Around the board are placed a Holmes, a Watson and a police dog token. On each turn, the first player (the inspector or Jack, in turn) uses 4 action tokens which allow to move the investigator tokens, to reorient the tiles or to draw a suspect card. A suspect is visible only if the investigator can see that suspect in the streets in front of him. Suspects hidden by buildings are invisible.
At the end of each turn, the player in the role of Jack must say if the guilty character is visible or not. If that character is not visible, Jack earns an hourglass.
If the Jack player can earn 6 hourglasses, that player wins the game (knowing that hourglasses are earned by remaining invisible and by drawing suspect cards). The inspector wins if there╞s only a single suspect left at the end of a turn.

Mr. Jack Pocket Review
I'm an avid gamer and initially read about this two player game on boardgamegeek.com where it is very well rated. Mr Jack Pocket is a puzzle game using line of sight between three detectives and nine Mr. Jack suspects as the game mechanic. My guy and I have brought this game along to the coffee shop and out to dinner and not only is it great for killing time, but it is small with a manageable number of pieces, and rules that are easy to understand. Finally it only takes about 15 minutes to play a game and there is high replay value, we've played 3-4 times in a row before. Overall Mr. Jack is a top notch two player game that easily fits it a coat pocket or purse.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Mr. Jack Pocket" are high quality item.
