How to play Mr. Jack

Mr. Jack is a two-player deduction game in which one player tries to identify a hidden suspect while the other tries to evade discovery. Players choose characters with different abilities, move them around a hex-based board, and use the resulting clues to narrow the case or keep it uncertain. It feels like a compact cat-and-mouse puzzle and suits pairs who enjoy tactical movement and deduction.
