Mr Jack Pocket

I really like this game. The only problem is every 3-5th game it freezes and has to be restarted.

Great game. Nice to be able to play it on the go. Game always freezes in duel mode. Have tried to play it multiple times to show my friends the game and have yet to complete one.

This is a good game but it now freezes frequently using the current version of iOS.

After purchasing Mr Jack Pocket, have tried to use the Duel mode several times. Always get the above error. The login to Asmodee is correct because it works for Ticket to Ride. Because I can’t get logged in, the Mr Jack app is useless to me. Have tried contacting Asmodee on several occasions with no response.

A great deduction puzzle, and perfect for a 5-6 minute game. I’ve played this to death, and I’ve seen my skill with it grow steadily - I thought it was simply impossible at first, but then I learned to anticipate the AI’s moves and plan ahead for subsequent rounds. The interface is a little glitchy on my iPad (and the game is simply too small to be enjoyable on my phone), but I’ll forgive the clunkiness because I enjoy the game so much. I’ve logged over 1,200 plays in “Medium” difficulty, with (according to the app) a 70% win rate, and I still rate this as my “go to” game for a quick break.

A fun game, and I can win about half the time on easy. But two issues: When the computer plays the wild card token (move anyone) about half the time it moves no one but expends the token anyway. This is not allowed, as far as I know, and can mess up my strategy. A bug. A cancel button would also be nice when you touch the wrong icon. Thanks

Needs update. Crashes daily in mid game. Otherwise it’s a great hard game to play. Please update.

I’ve never played he game before. This tutorial does not even explain the basic of the game — like which characters are portrayed by which icons and what makes something “visible” versus not.

Cannot play online duel. They game crashes and kicks us both out of the game.

As other reviewers have suggested, this game is poorly balanced. I don’t have a problem with the AI, because I think it would be easier to beat if the game were designed better. The biggest problem seems to be the suspect cards that give Jack extra sandglasses, which prematurely ends the game. The detectives have 6 turns to find Jack, but if he picks up a card that gives him 2 sandglasses on the first turn and another that also gives him 2 sandglasses on the second turn, that’s game over. That’s not the AI being clever—I can win in 2 turns doing that if I’m playing as Jack, too! Playing as Jack on any difficulty is way easier than playing as Sherlock on the easiest setting. It’s no fun when your AI opponent has the game mechanics working in their favor and you never get the full 6 turns to do your best. The suspect cards should be reworked or just removed entirely.
