2010 · Deduction

Mr. Jack Pocket

A compact deduction game set on a 3x3 grid of street cards showing the suspects. One player secretly controls the guilty party while the other controls Holmes, Watson and a dog that rotate around the grid and “look” along rows and columns. Each round players take turns choosing from four shared actions — moving a detective, rotating or swapping street cards, or drawing an alibi — with action selection changing who plays how many. At the end of the round the guilty player declares whether they are visible; the detectives win by identifying the culprit, while the guilty player wins by remaining hidden until escape.
