Mr. Jack in New York

One player hides as a fugitive while the other leads an investigation across a stylized Manhattan board. Players move character pawns, manipulate movable gaslights and manhole covers, and use unique character abilities to gather clues or conceal identity. Water surrounding the island and escape routes play a tactical role; a police spy unit can collect special information. The game uses asymmetric roles and deduction, with a greater emphasis on strategic planning and tile manipulation than earlier versions.
