The game takes the players right there. One player plays Jack the Ripper, and his goal is to take five victims before being caught. The other players are police detectives who must cooperate to catch Jack the Ripper before the end of the game. The game board represents the Whitechapel area at the time of Jack the Ripper and is marked with 199 numbered circles linked together by dotted lines. During play, Jack the Ripper, the Policemen, and the Wretched are moved along the dotted lines that represent Whitechapel's streets. Jack the Ripper moves stealthily between circular numbered circles, while policemen move on their patrols between crossings, and the Wretched wander alone between the circular numbered circles.

We had our latest Fear Itself event last week, and one of our greatest turnouts to date! Our players battled it out in Antarctica, where Skadi's hammer fell when the Red Skull originally summoned it, and on the streets of Paris, where the Grey Gargoyle (as Mokk, Breaker of Faith) has been terrorizing and petrifying the local populace. This time, our representatives of The Mighty had the edge in points, swinging the overall total in their favor.

Out in theaters this week, as well as being available as Heroclix in store, is Pacific Rim. While there have been no official previews, the dials have already shown up online. These figures are unique in Heroclix, representing the gigantic, powerful creatures (and robots) in grand fashion.  The sculpts themselves are about as tall as the tallest "regular" figures, and while they remain on single bases, they all have the Colossal damage symbol, typically reserved for the bigger figures such as Galactus. Additionally, they have huge point costs, and even alone their powers and combat values would make them formidable opponents in standard games. So it will be interesting to see how these figures will play against each other and against ordinary superheroes.

Be sure to let us know if you're interested in these figures, as they're bound to move quickly!
