Weapons

Each weapon sheet lists ways you can spend effort to break armor or inflict wounds to a monster. Different weapons are better at dealing with different monsters, and you can only have one weapon equipped at a time, so plan wisely.

Some weapons are listed as "basic weapons" and others as "advanced weapons", and certain in-game effects will trigger based on which type of weapon you have equipped.

You can upgrade a weapon as a general action. Most weapons list two potential options to upgrade it and the cost of each upgrade in resources and time. When you upgrade a weapon, lay the new weapon sheet on top of the old one. You can upgrade a weapon during combat, with the time cost counting against the next level (or paid in SE, if level IV). …

There is also one special "Ripper Escapes" card. With this card, you may decide to try to win the hand by helping Jack the Ripper escape. Playing the Ripper Escapes card ends the hand immediately with lots of points for the person playing it. …
