221B Baker Street: The Master Detective Game
Play as a rival master detective roaming Victorian London to gather clues and solve criminal cases. Each round presents a written case with suspects, locations and questions to answer; players move between numbered locales to uncover hidden clues and record findings on individual checklists. Investigation includes visiting the crime scene and surrounding sites to piece together evidence, then returning to 221B to announce the solution. Players race to deduce the correct answers from gathered evidence, with the first correct solution winning the case.

Koki Leiva4.0 This game has potential. The cases are well developed, but the dice system makes it unnecessarily long. With some house rules, you will enjoy 100% this game.
