  I love Scotland Yard. We got it for a friend who loves detective stories. Then discovered that it’s a public transit simulator which is even better.

    Honestly, Letters From Whitechapel is a better design of the same concept.

    For detective story games, Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective is amazing.

    And for public transit games, Bus is the way to go (probably)

      Lol Sherlock Holmes consulting detective is probably fun as a single player game, but we played it as a party game (cause it said you could do that) and the result is just chaos.

      We got on what we were pretty sure was the right track and got into some rabbit holes, brought it back to Sherlock and he basically told us to fuck off and die and we earned negative points. I think we got one part of one of his answers and didn’t even visit most of the places that would have given us at least a few answers.

      Great for a laugh though.

        I would say it should be fine as a solo game if you’re into that, but better as a 2-3 player game to have someone to discuss and bounce ideas against.

        I can imagine that as a party game it would be chaotic for sure!

        Definitely needs the right group, and I think you can’t take the scoring too seriously, especially playing in larger groups. Pretty sure I also have never had a positive score even in a smaller group.

      We bought it at goodwill on a whim knowing nothing about it. Good to know about your other suggestions. Thanks!
