Jack and Joel talk about Letters from Whitechapel, a game about hunting Jack the ripper, I didn't say this in the show but it's a bit like playing the radio operator in Captain Sonar. Jack takes some swipes at My City, but since his main criticism is that he wants more of the game, it's still a pretty glowing review. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/59959/letters-whitechapel

Dedukcyjna gra dla dojrzałych graczy! Wreszcie doczekaliśmy się wymagającej gry o policjantach i mordercach, gry w trakcie, której poczujesz się jak uciekający i chowający się w ciemnych zaułkach Kuba Rozpruwacz, albo jak detektyw próbujący rozwikłać zagadkę jego kryjówki. "Listy z Whitechapel" to pozycja z prostymi, ale dającymi duże pole do popisu, zasadami. Mamy tu dwie gry w grze - inaczej gra się policją, a inaczej złoczyńcą. Posłuchajcie o odczuciach tajemniczego prowadzącego. Podcast nagrano ŁOPATOLOGICZNIE, z myślą o początkujących graczach, co nie oznacza, że sama gra nie spodoba się zaawansowanym planszówkożercom!

We are having a look at Letters from Whitechapel today. First we have a look at a few games we've played since the last podcast : Mysterium 00:50 Roads and Boats 05:34 Gold West 12:12 Grand Austrian Hotel 17:54 Age of Sigmar 22:26 Walled City 25:07 We then get into the main game. We start with theme and components - since this is based on a real event, how does that effect the theme of the game? We are a group of 2 alpha gamers, how does this game handle that (or does it)? Is the game balanced? Does the game go on too long for what it is? Which is the more fun side to play - Jack or the police? We actually mostly agree on many points, but the game is not for everybody in the group, find out why!
