Letters from Whitechapel is a deduction type game in the flavor of Scotland Yard and Fury of Dracula, although Letters is more graphic and is themed around Jack the Ripper. Here is the publisher’s description:
Letters from Whitechapel is a crime and investigation game, created by the same game designers of Garibaldi and Mister X-Flight through Europe – Gianluca Santopietro and Gabriele Mari – inspired by Jack The Ripper’s murders and the desperate attempts by Scotland Yard to stop his bloody killings.
Night after night, the player who controls Jack commits a new murder and tries to reach his hideout, while the other players, in the role of British police detectives, try to track him down, collecting clues that can lead to his capture. All these murders and pursuits will be represented in a board that depicts the Whitechapel neighborhood in London at the end of 19th century.
Night after night, the policemen will try to tighten the investigation’s lace around the serial killer, gathering clues that can drive to his capture and attempting to use their own insights and inquiring and deduction abilities.
Letters from Whitechapel is a tense game with an accurate historical setting and very intense artwork and graphics.
