An Olympic Take on Mr. Jack
Hurrican Games has unleashed a special online version of Mr. Jack with an Olympic setting that can be played from now through September 25, 2008.
The game play remains the same, but the setting and game board are altered from the original game: One player is now an athlete in the Olympic village in Beijing, secretly blogging each night about China’s human rights violations and treatment of Tibet. The other player must determine which of eight possible athletes is the secret blogger who is violating the Olympic Charter by making political statements during the Games. Who will outsmart whom and take home the gold medal for sneakiness?

Nice twist on the game mechanics. P Perhaps Apples to Apples could do an Olympic women’s gymnastics version as well? Posted by Jeff Allers on Aug 19, 2008 at 12:51 PM | #
