The Prototype

4JACKS is a new board, card & pawn game for 2 or 4 players.
Individually or in teams.
Old-fashioned fun around the table.

The goal of the game is to get all your pawns from the Startplace
into the JackPot as quickly as possible.
The player (or team) who succeeds first is the winner!

With the 56 special cards, you determine the route,
which can be suddenly disrupted by the unpredictable Jack!

Play, practice, and hone your skills in a home setting
to later take on the competition.

The rules are quick to learn, but don't be fooled!
Game experience, strategy, and being alert increase your chances
of becoming the best.

And don’t forget to play tactically but above all smart, as the Jacks remain treacherous, surprising, and sometimes even cursed until the bitter end.

Exciting and thrilling with ultimately only one winner!

Average playing time 25 to 45 minutes.
Recommended age: roughly 6 years and up.

The Game Arena

Foldable board game (480x480x3mm.).
Printed on both sides for 2 or 4 players (2 teams).

What immediately stands out are the numbered and colored rows of play.
The numbering allows the pieces to move faster, in leaps.
Being good at arithmetic – addition and subtraction – is a plus!
The numbering and color also help with correct positioning, so that,
for example, game situations can be replayed.
With the numbering in the JackPot's and in the Startingplaces
the score can be determined.
And... you can play it with points or coins.

4x5=20 Transparent Pawns

The exclusive (glass) pawns/servants provide an extra cachet.
In addition, the number on which the pawn stands remains visible.

The Jackpot

Fullhouse Red Jackpot

The ultimate goal of the game.
The player or team that will be the first to take all the pawns
into the JackPot's is the WINNER!

A full Jackpot gives
5+10+15+20+25=75 points/coins.
