Moriarty's Machinations

Moriarty's Machinations is a board game for 5–10 players. It plays in 30 minutes and is meant for ages 13 and up. Ludoya players call it best with 5.

In 1891 London, a group of criminals plans a series of heists while Sherlock Holmes works to undermine them. Professor Moriarty is hidden among his own henchmen, and the players must determine which side the others serve. Each player receives a secret role with limited information about other players. Players select crews for heists, then vote on whether each crew proceeds. Cops can foil an approved heist, while successful heists award points to the robbers. Once a team reaches the required score, key investigators reveal themselves and accuse the opposing leader, with the accuracy of those accusations determining the winner.
