📖 About This Game
Gentle Jack is a chaotic, take-that style party game where the goal is simple: sabotage your friends, hoard Gadgets, and be the last one standing with the most in hand. This fast-paced game thrives on unpredictability, deception, and just the right amount of drinking (optional but encouraged).
Each player starts with 3 Gadgets in hand, while the ominous Omen deck waits in the center of the table.
The oldest player kicks things off by drawing a new Gadget, then unleashing one of their cards on an unlucky target (or the whole table, depending on the card). Play continues clockwise: draw a Gadget, play a Gadget, make some friends (or not).
Your mission: To collect as many Gadgets as possible and be the one left with the most comically large hand when the deck runs dry.
Winning the Game – When either the Gadget or Omen deck is depleted, the player with the most Gadgets in hand wins.
