Overview
Over at most 8 rounds, either find the identity of Mr. Jack or collect six Hourglasses
One player is Mr. Jack, the other player is the Investigator
Turn
There are 4 turns to a round, alternating between the Jack player and the Investigator player
Investigator starts on odd rounds, Jack starts on even rounds
Whoever starts gets 1 action, the opponent 2, then the starter gets 1 again
The actions available are random for odd rounds, but the others will become available in even rounds i.e. across 2 rounds ALL actions will be available
After which, Mr. Jack declares if the Investigator can see them, causing some suspects to be eliminated
Actions=
Holmes/Watson/Dog - These work the same way, and cause that particular investigator to be moved 1 or 2 spaces clockwise around the board, multiple investigators can share the same space
Joker - Same as the Investigators on their own, except it's player choice what is moved, they can only be moved 1 space, and for Jack only they have the option to not move anything
Rotation - The player can turn a tile 90 or 180, if multiple of these are available in the same round then the same tile can NOT be picked on both occasions
Exchange - switch the positions of two tiles but do NOT change their orientation
