About the game
What you do in a play session
Everyone knows the story of Jack and Jill who went up the hill and... well, you know how it ends. But what the rhyme doesn’t tell you is that the hill was overrun by monsters! Now, Jack and Jill return armed to clear the area and reclaim their territory. In this solo fantasy game, you use a standard deck of cards to guide the duo on a strategic mission. Each turn, choose to move, melee attack, ranged attack, or adapt your hand. Monsters must be defeated in ascending order (Jacks → Queens → Kings), with each rank stronger than the last. Beware: monsters are immune to cards of their own suit! Use Jack and Jill’s unique abilities, manage your action deck, and defeat all 10 monsters to win. Perfect for fans of quick tactical challenges and traditional card games.
