Sherlock Holmes Detective Game

One of the games from last year - either Partizan or Salute. Another game played due to circumstances...
Game mechanics quite simple - move a counter round the board going into places and look up the 'clues' you find there in a book. Try to work out who did it, what with and why.

So how did it play? Well, says 10+ on the cover, probably best for kids a bit older than that, Sandra quite liked it, I found it a bit boring. Fact is, no red herrings or anything, just a simple case of following a trail to an ending that was already obvious half way round... as I said, down as being suitable for 10+ so no real leeway for anything complicated.

  1. I played it with my kids a few years ago (about 9 and 11 at the time), we played co-op and just moved around separately gaining clues. So the fun was more in the reveal of the clues to be able to solve the mystery.

    1. I think it is one geared more to the younger element.
