About this game
A two-player trick-taking game where Jekyll tries to balance the tricks evenly while Hyde pushes for extremes. The tug-of-war scoring track perfectly captures the novella's duality: Jekyll needs equilibrium to maintain his identity, while Hyde wins by dragging the score to either extreme. Special potion cards add asymmetric powers, and the three-round structure creates a dramatic narrative arc. The most thematic trick-taking game ever designed for two.
