Jekyll vs Hyde Board Game How to Play and Review by Jaclyn Friedlander

[@yb6305]

I play a lot of board games and most of the time the explanations on KZbin are horrible and confusing. your explanation of this game is one of the best I’ve ever seen.

[@ludwigmises]

Just got this in and played several games with my daughter. She’s 12, and picked up on it very quickly. Really cool game.

[@JaclynFriedlander]

I'm glad you're enjoying it!

I got a copy of this and played it for the first time today. My friend and I loved it. I'm definitely glad for your video as we were playing slightly wrong with the potions, but now going forward it'll be righted agter seeing it explained here haha. This definitely takes a few plays to get used to. Your instincts are to try to win every trick, but the trick is to balance it and not always win every trick to win the game hahaha. We played three games total tonight. Definitely on my top game list! I played Mr. Hyde and on our third game I was won space away from winning.

Hi Nick, I'm glad you like the game and found my video to be helpful. You're absolutely correct, as a gamer, it is really difficult to get out of the habit of trying to win every trick!

Thanks for the video!

What exactly is the effect of the purple potion? Based on the rules I have it just means the higher number wins but that could be a translation issue.

[@JaclynFriedlander]

Hi Boris! Thank you for your question! That's how I've been playing it as well, but I'm not 100% sure if that's correct. Mandoo games is the publisher so I would suggest reaching out to them for further clarification. Board Game Geek forums also sometimes have good insight into official rules clarifications.

@@JaclynFriedlander hey thank you for replying so fast! Yeah, that's enough for me. After I gave it some thought I figured the pros of that ability so we will keep playing like this :)

[@JaclynFriedlander]

@@borisstojanovic6646 awesome! I'm glad you're enjoying the game and thank you for tuning into my video :)

Odd, my rulebook says I need to share if I have more than 2 potions, not more than one?

[@JaclynFriedlander]

Interesting. I wonder if it is a different edition of the game or if the rules have been updated. The version I have were the pre-release rules so that might have been updated.

[@luna_saphira4080]

@@JaclynFriedlander I have the German version, maybe that's why?

[@JaclynFriedlander]

@@luna_saphira4080 That could definitely be it too. Perhaps they have different versions for different countries.

[@madhatterguitar]

I'm in the U.S. and my copy of the rules say share if you have "two or more"

[@benjespina]

Thanks for putting this on BGA :)

[@JaclynFriedlander]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching. :)

[@StephenSeidel]

Love this!

[@astarrfitness5565]

Wanted to get started playing this but having read the game rules, it wasn't that clear. Thanks for clearing things out

[@JaclynFriedlander]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad you found it helpful :)

Great review 👏 👌

[@JaclynFriedlander]

Thank you for watching :)

[@nikyexma]

Where can i buy it? I try to bought it at Amazon, but isn't there.

[@JaclynFriedlander]

It is currently available in France, I believe. You can also play online at boardgamearena.com

[@lilcflo9838]

Awesome Jaclyn!!! Love your joy!!

[@Xombigod]

3:40 you have mixed up the order of strength tokens. Lowest is on the left, not on the right

[@JaclynFriedlander]

Thanks for the note Xombigod. I will look into this. I produced this video for the game distributor and the way I explain it is how they approved it and that's how I've been playing it...

[@Xombigod]

@@JaclynFriedlander could be a change from the preproduction copy,

[@JaclynFriedlander]

@@Xombigod That is definitely a possibility.

[@H0TTFUDGE]

Yeah the rule book says left to right which matches the board arrows going left to right.. but in her copy the board arrows go right to left..hmm

[@madhatterguitar]

Very clear explanation, you're really good at this.
