Holmes and Moriarty
An asymmetric two-player drafting game of deduction and wits. One player takes the role of Sherlock Holmes, searching London for clues, while the other plays Professor Moriarty, arranging crimes as part of a nefarious plan. Over a series of hands, players draft crimes and clues to win cases and mark positions on the scenario board. Moriarty wins by forming three in a row and activating the master plan; Holmes wins by foiling it.
