About this deal

Although the original graphic from 1904 shows a player making "a sweep" of his opponents' cards, apparently this action needed to be made clearer. As well, the words "ALL PLAYERS PLAY AT ONCE" are more pronounced in the newer rules.

NEW GIFTS FROM OTHER WORLDS EVENT – Challenge yourself with 30+ exciting new quests, assemble five captivating collections and three charming Avatars, the Gingerbread House Chest, the Master of Christmas totem, as well as numerous prizes and bonuses. MORE QUESTS AND COLLECTIONS – Enjoy 61 exhilarating new quests, 10 fantastic collections, and one meta-collection await you!ADVENT CALENDAR – Christmas is around the corner, and it's time to start the countdown! Travel into your favorite books and investigate scenes every day to find out which magical gifts are hidden in the Advent Calendar! The game also comes with a large plain notepad for players to work out scores. The notepad isn’t anything special and a smaller one would have decreased the box size but it’s nothing to scoff at. With 108 cards there is variance to be had each game. Includes 1 playing board, 1 die, 6 playing pieces, 6 Scotland Yard cards, 6 Skeleton Key cards, 75 case cards, and the Rules, Clues & Solutions Booklet This process is repeated at the end of each round. With 108 cards, it can be quite a handful! It is by no means the longest setup for a game but because you have to do it 6 times it does feel like you’re shuffling for ages. As you go round the table and play cards, you’re trying to make sure you come out with the lowest score. This means you want to play cards which have the highest score or catch the villain. If a player successfully arrests a villain, they will get the villain’s score deducted from their points and the villain will have this score added to their total. Alternatively, if the villain escapes, they will get this score deducted.

To find clues and get closer to figuring out challenging cases, pay close attention and choose your favorite gameplay mode for any scene: NEW CHARACTERS – Meet Marie Stahlbaum, a happy girl who believes in miracles, and Godfather Drosselmeyer, a storyteller who believes that magic can touch even the hardest of hearts.To win the game, players must get the lowest score. All cards left in your hand at the end of a round are tallied up. Catching villains becomes a priority as arresting a villain will give you a hefty minus to your score which always helps. If you have a villain card in your hand at the end and you remained undetected, you do not add this score to your total. Each player assumes the role of Holmes and matches wits with the other players to determine who possesses the most skilful powers of deduction. The game includes 75 cases and each case is represented by a card that features a crime told in story form, a selection of probable suspects and a list of locations involved in that crime.
