mrjack
In Mr. Jack, one of the two players represents Mr. Jack, who will be one of the eight characters on the board. This player knows which character is Mr. Jack, and his goal is to flee from the district as soon as possible (or avoid being accused for eight turns). The other player represents an independent investigator (not represented on the board) who tries to guess the identity of Jack — but he can make only one accusation during the game!
During each turn, the players move the characters, using their special powers and placing them either in shadow or light. At the end of each turn, the witnesses declare whether Jack is visible — that is, in light or adjacent to another character — or not (alone in the shadows). This allows the investigator to know which characters are innocent. As the turns progress, the investigator tries to eliminate suspects while Jack tries to escape. Intuition, logic, and cold blood will be necessary for each of the two participants.

Setup
- All characters are placed suspect side up on the board, along with manholes, lit gaslights and police cordons.
- Mr Jack draws an alibi. That is his identity.
- The rest of the alibis are placed in a stack next to the board.
- Mr Jack starts visible.
Game play
- On odd rounds, the detective starts first. On even rounds, Mr Jack starts first.
- Draw 4 character cards from the deck and place them next to the board. On odd rounds, shuffle the deck first.
- The starting player chooses a character and activates their ability.
- Then the opposite player chooses two characters and activates their abilities one by one.
- Finally, the starting player activates the last ability.
- Then, Jack must declare whether he is visible.
- He is visible if he is next to a gaslight or another character.
- According to his answer, the detective clears some people.
- After that, some gaslights maybe shut off. Remove the lit token equal to the round number from the game.
- Some special tiles have different effects. Obstacles cannot be crossed by anyone except Stealthy.
- Police cordons block exits from available to escaping. Manholes can be used to travel to another manhole if not covered.
End of the Game
- Once per game, the detective can move another character onto Jack and confronts him.
- If the detective is right, they win. Otherwise, Jack wins.
