In Bookmaker, players race horses around the track by playing cards from their hands. They're not concerned about winning, however, but rather making as much money as possible from the bets they place based on what they hold in hand. Some players will be nominated as "bookmakers", which entitles them to see additional cards and have a better chance of knowing the outcome of the race; they are also the ones who will determine the prizes for each race.

London, 1888.
As soon as you step off the coach, you realize this is the wrong stop. A few minutes ago you were in the posh city center, but now crowded and smelly alleys branch off around you. Hawkers, shouting merchants, and dirty children covered in rags who run through the crowd and pull your jacket, begging for money... all you see is poverty and dreariness. Some people call this district hell.

Some others– less fortunate – call it home. Here, for a penny or less, you can see street acrobats and freak shows, or you can get drunk in one of the pubs. Prostitutes, those lonely wretched souls, haunt every street corner. These are his hunting grounds. Welcome to Whitechapel. Welcome to Jack the Ripper’s streets.

Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the upcoming release of Letters from Whitechapel, the revised edition of Gabriele Mari and Gianluca Santopietro’s chilling board game of the hunt for history’s most notorious criminal!

Letters from Whitechapel is a thematically engrossing board game of deduction and bluffing in which one player takes the role of the infamous Jack the Ripper, while up to five other players are detectives working together to pursue him through Victorian London. After committing his horrible murders, Jack must outmaneuver the detectives in the tangled streets of the Whitechapel District.

Meanwhile, the detectives must use clever deduction and their superior numbers to hunt Jack the Ripper down before he can kill again or elude them forever.

High-Stakes Cat-and-Mouse
Played over four rounds, Letters from Whitechapel is an engaging game of cat-and-mouse. Each round, the player controlling Jack selects a victim, commits a grisly murder, then attempts to escape to his secret hideout before being apprehended by any of five pursuing investigators. As for the investigators themselves, they must watch and wait, springing to action when Jack strikes then working together to narrow down his true location and make an arrest.

To begin, the Jack player secretly chooses the location of his hideout, a numbered space on the board to which he must run after his nightly butchery. Jack writes the number of this location at the top of his move track sheet, on which he also records his movements each round. This all-important document will remain hidden behind Jack’s special screen throughout the game, masking his heinous activities from those who seek to apprehend him.

When Jack strikes, he removes one of the white Wretched pawns from the map, representing the murder of an unfortunate lady of the night. Suddenly, the scene of the murder becomes the starting point for a high-stakes race. As Jack attempts to elude police and make it back to his Hideout (ending the round in his favor), the police detectives search the spaces near the crime scene for clues to his trail. With skill, communication, and a bit of luck, the police detective players will gradually establish a radius surrounding the location of Jack’s hideout, before finally closing in and stopping him.

Will Jack escape justice, surviving to kill again, or can the police put a stop to history’s most notorious killer?

• A “one-versus-many” board game of intrigue and deduction for two to six players
• Based on the true story of the hunt for the infamous murderer Jack the Ripper
• Wooden tokens and pawns, stunning artwork, and a focus on historical accuracy contribute to a rich theme

Players familiar with the previous English-language edition of Letters from Whitechapel (published by Nexus Games in 2011) may be wondering what, if anything, is different about this revised edition. In short, certain components have been altered based on player feedback.

The Jack the Ripper Screen has been improved. The map is bigger, and the chart of the Special Movement tokens is now shown on it, so players don’t have to look at the rulebook during the game. The new physical design allows the screen to stand up by itself and better protect the secret information of Jack from the other players.

* The Women, Patrol, and Time of the Crime tokens are now wooden, giving them increased durability.
* Some of the plastic markers now are different colors to help them stand out more on the game board. The Clue markers are now yellow and the False Clue markers are blue.
* The Letters’ effects are now described in detail on the components themselves, so players don’t have to refer to the rulebook during the game to use them.
* The rules of the game are unchanged, but the official errata have been integrated into the rulebook.

Will Jack escape justice, surviving to kill again, or can the police put a stop to history’s most notorious killer? Find out in Letters from Whitechapel!

In The Mystery of the Templars, players become the masters of this secretive organization. They must assign their knights to the critical task of escorting pilgrims, but also to seek out and discover long-lost artifacts of Christian lore. Using their holdings in the Holy Land, they procure valuable trade goods, which must then be transported to the hungry markets of Europe, using the profits to expand the Order's holdings. But along the way brigands and pirates threaten the flow of goods and wealth, and must be challenged by valorous knights to safeguard the precious caravans and trade ships.

To be successful, the players must balance the needs of trade, development, and battle. In time, the powerful enemies of the Templars will strike, beginning the Persecution which will eventually cause the destruction of the Order. In those last desperate days, the players must flee from their Commanderies with all the wealth and relics they can carry, seeking refuge in the farthest corners of the world.

The player who can best manage the resources of the Order during the days of wealth, and who can rescue the most important relics from the Persecution, will be the victor in The Mystery of the Templars.
