Letters from Whitechapel

In the game of Letters from Whitechapel, players are transported to the era of Jack the Ripper and take on different roles in a game that lasts 90-150 minutes. One player assumes the role of the infamous serial killer, whose objective is to claim five victims without getting caught. The remaining players are tasked with playing the role of police detectives, who must collaborate to track down and capture Jack before the game ends. The game board is a representation of the Whitechapel area during the time of the murders and features 199 numbered circles that are interconnected by dotted lines, representing the streets of the area. During gameplay, the characters move along these dotted lines, with Jack trying to evade capture by moving stealthily between numbered circles, while the police move along their patrols between crossings. The Wretched, on the other hand, wander alone between the numbered circles.
