Walkthrough for Jacks or better to murder, Aces to win
My emphasis was a story with a "gathered environment." The
player quickly learns who (s)he (the character's sex is never
mentioned) is and through recollections and observations gradually
gathers the world in which (s)he has ruled for a long time. With
that in mind, a two hour competition limit (befitting a "staccato"
pace) and a deliberate avoidance of puzzles that didn't fit, there
are no particularly difficult problems to solve. --JDB
