DescriptionMultiplayer Card game. Can you catch a villain before he can escape, while at the same time avoid being caught with one yourself. Players have a hand of card which they try to get rid of, by playing them one at a time. If you can't play you must draw another. The round carries on until an arrest is made, triggered either by a player going out or by the play of cards. Players get penalties for the value of cards they're left with bonuses for the player making a successful arrest and further penalties for the Arrested. |

CommentsThis card game is strongly themed. It manages to provide me with a feeling that I am on a Sherlock Holmes case. I find the game play lacks the need to make any strategic decision. A nice social card game but with no strategic edge. (Gordon) |
