After reading the introduction, players receive a certain number of cards in their hand (the number of cards depends on the number of players). Players cannot show their cards to each other, but they can read aloud the highlighted words or text in a ring binder. Players take turns. On their turn, an active player performs one of the 2 actions: Place evidence. The player chooses a card from their hand and places it face down on the table. The information on it is now available to everyone. Discard evidence. The player chooses a card from their hand and discards it. When all the evidence has been placed or discarded, and the deck is empty, the players discuss the available information and think about the most likely version of events. However, if at the end of the game there are fewer than 6 cards in the discard pile, the players immediately lose. The game ends when the players have determined the final version and answered the questions. They earn 2 points for each correct answer. They lose 1 point for each card placed in the discard pile that does not relate to the case. Calculate your score and find out if you have outsmarted the police from Scotland Yard or even matched Sherlock Holmes.
