Sherlock in Time
Players investigate parallel theft cases set in feudal Japan, each trying to deduce the three symbols (suspect, location, stolen object) on a secret clue card that faces the other players, not them. On a turn, play a clue card face up and receive information from opponents about how many symbols on that card match the symbols on the secret card (0, 1, or 2). Track these match counts and either end the turn or declare a solution; a correct guess scores points, a wrong guess eliminates the player from the round. The game runs three rounds, includes a one-time ability to check a single symbol, and offers optional extra cards and an advanced mode with helper characters for greater variety.
