Prepare to step into the poor and gloomy Whitechapel, a London district in 1888 – the very place where the mysterious Jack the Ripper murders took place. In the crowded and foul-smelling alleys, street vendors shout over each other, children in rags run through the crowd begging for money, and prostitutes (known as "wretched") stand on almost every corner.

Letters from Whitechapel is a board game where one player takes on the role of Jack the Ripper, aiming to "rip" five victims without getting caught. The other players act as police detectives who must work together to catch Jack the Ripper before the game ends.

The game board depicts the Whitechapel area during the time of Jack the Ripper and is marked with 199 numbered circles connected by dotted lines. During the game, Jack the Ripper, the police, and the prostitutes move along these dotted lines, which represent the streets of Whitechapel.

The game is in English.
