About this game

Can you save London from the scourge of Jack the Ripper? This game simulates the reign of terror over Victorian London, perpetrated by Jack the Ripper'. One player takes the role of Sir Charles Warren, the Police commissioner, and the other is the Ripper himself. The Police player has 10 weeks to unmask the Ripper before he must resign in disgrace.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
