xHave you got what it takes to hunt down Moriarty?! Step into Sherlock's shoes with this retro card game. With illustrations from the original Sherlock Holmes books, players must lay different cards to seek out the person holding the villain card...or attempt to escape undetected if they are holding one of the notorious villains in their hand!
How to Play the Victorian London Detective Game
With illustrations from the original novels, this card game goes some way to evoke the feeling of the chase through Victorian London to unmask Moriarty and other villains. Players draw and lay cards in sequence, Movement, Location, Info, Action, Detectives and Villains. So I might take a train to the Country, find a clue and use a Disguise. I can use an Inspector, Arrest or Alibi card on my opponents and so on. Play ends either when an Arrest successfully reveals a Villain, or when a player discards their last card, a Villain, who Escapes. Scoring is based on cards remaining in your hand, and if you are the arresting or guilty player, caught with a Villain in your hand.
- IMMERSE IN SHERLOCK'S WORLD: Sherlock Holmes: The Card Game is an essential addition for any fan of the legendary detective. Featuring Sydney Paget's original illustrations from The Strand Magazine, this game brings a classic touch to your collection.
