Letters from Whitechapel: Dear Boss

About this expansion

Letters from Whitechapel: Dear Boss is an expansion for 2–6 players that brings new challenges and deeper atmosphere to a game of approximately 120 minutes.

Inspired by the infamous letter received by London’s Central News Agency on Thursday, September 27, 1888, this expansion explores the moment when the horror of Whitechapel finally acquired a name. Written in red and signed Jack The Ripper, the letter contained macabre details that could not be ignored before being delivered to Scotland Yard two days later.

Dear Boss invites players to enter the sordid depths of Whitechapel and become better acquainted with the main characters connected to the events of that fall. Its subject matter adds historical context and a darker narrative dimension to the Whitechapel investigation.

Both sides of the conflict face fresh possibilities. Players taking the role of Jack encounter new and intriguing challenges, while those playing the policemen must confront their own demanding obstacles as they pursue the unfolding horror.
