If limited to 2 players, is Mr. Jack a superior deduction game than Letters from Whitechapel?

Absolutely not. My wife and I play this game (I play Jack) an we constantly swap wins. We've played six games : the police have captured Jack three time and Jack has escaped three times. I you've got two players who are into the game, then it plays well. This is one of the most balanced and challenging games I played.

No, but soon will be. The next expansion is expected to make it two player, possibly with fun cannibalism options! Whether this expansion will be sold separately or not is probably worth waiting a couple weeks to find out.

One time deal...this brand of game (I've played MANY in the series) has a predetermined murderer. That person will know it's them at the beginning of the game, which makes the game a little less fun for that person - unless they are a great actor, in which they will really play everything else up and red herring answers and such. It's fun no matter what!

No, this game is restricted to 2 people. It is a lot like Chess in a way. I do recommend it for abstract game lovers. It is also great for road trips as it is very portable and games don't take longer than 15-30 min.

That is not how the game is designed, but you could have a split personality to play multiple characters. It is not really a co-operative game, as the encounters involve only a single player in a location at a time. It plays fine with 2 players. Dave Boardgames4us

The game is intended for a game master and two or more players, but it can be played by only two people. Not the published adventures, at least not easily or without heavy modification.

Well, I've played Rollick, and I've seen Reverse Charades. They are essentially the same game. We like Rollick better, as there area a LOT more words to play with, so you won't run out very quickly. Also Rollick has a bunch of twists so it can be adapted for larger teams and or children. You should have fun with either, but if you haven't purchased yet, I'd go with Rollick. And sorry it took so long to answer. For some reason, Gmail buried it in the promotions section of my email.

I prefer it with 4, but it is perfectly fine with 2 players. There is a lot of shuffling though.

I played last night with just two and it worked perfectly. Some of the Sheldon cards aren't really beneficial for just two players but overall it works. :)

It can be answered with 2 players; my husband and I play it every once in a while. But it's a bit more fun with 3+ so that you can use the "special" tiles that make the game a bit more fun. Definitely a great game; but if you're looking for a 2-player game, there are better options out there.

Killer bunnies is best with more than two players. You have to bend rules to do it with two but it is really meant for more. However, the game is all about having fun with each other so if I could choose any game worth adapting for two players- this would be it.

I haven't played reverse charades, but I have played rollick, and it was a blast! Great card, the directions are simple.

There are a lot of variations to the game listed in the instructions which are suited for two players. The game is fun with two players but I think it's best with 3-4.

My dad has played all the scenarios with a single character. It's very challenging. However if you wanted to play one or more characters simultaneously then it's totally possible.

2 player games work fine. Some of the game cards will have implications for more players like play this card to the player to your right, but this doesn't hurt a 2 player game. We have a house rule if you have a blank card it is an invisible friend +1 to attack and you can't lose him even if you die. I can't remember if this box comes with a blank, but you could declare some hated curse cards a invisible friend before you start.

This one can be played with 2 players or as multi-player as well. You can also combine it with other editions.

I do believe there are variant rules for 2 player, though I do not believe they exist within the standard rule books. You can google this and find more information on board game geek. I would say though, that this is very much a social deduction game and the more people the better this game is (though it does take longer). I think the two player variant kind of messes with what makes this game great. Just my opinion though.
