The graphic design is fantastic and further immerses you in the world. Numbered circles 99, 100, and 120 are adjacent to the yellow Policeman pawn. Circle 83 is not adjacent, because the route to 83 is interrupted by a Crossing. In-Game Strategies: To increase your chances of winning in Whitechapel, there are various strategies you can employ to boost your score. For example, try finding out which type of clues other players are looking for and keep it to yourself ” this way you can snag them before anyone else does! You can also try getting ahead by collecting extra horns whenever possible ” since these are worth double the amount as clues. Finally, make sure to adjust your strategy between rounds to better suit your current resources and those of your competitors. With some smart game play and strategic planning, you’ll be well on your way to being crowned Whitechapel champion! Understanding Difficult Concepts and Strategies
