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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical a-spacing-mini\"\u003e \u003cli class=\"a-spacing-mini\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eIMMERSE IN SHERLOCK'S WORLD: Sherlock Holmes: The Card Game is an essential addition for any fan of the legendary detective.
