{"product_id":"sherlock-holmes-card-game","title":"Sherlock Holmes card game","description":"\u003cp\u003eI can't believe that I've been playing this clever card game for twenty-five years! (Though my copy is in a rather different-looking box.) It starts when \"The game's afoot!\" and ends with the arrest (or escape) of the Villain. If things get really tough, there may be more than one Villain involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlay is pretty simple: each card played shows which cards can follow it, with the next player picking up a card if they can't play. The card play provides bags of atmosphere as Holmes and Watson take trains and Hansom cabs in pursuit of clues. As the game goes on, players will work out who has the Villain – which is where a \"Thick Fog\" can be very useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the hand, players score points for the cards they have left, deducting the Villain if they made the arrest (or he escaped). After as many hands as players, the player with the \u003ci\u003efewest\u003c\/i\u003e points wins. It's an amusing, quick-playing game that I enjoy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor 3-8 players, aged 10+, playing time 60 minutes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSherlock Holmes card game\u003c\/em\u003e was designed by Roger Heyworth and is published by Gibsons Games\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind out more:\u003cbr\u003e    \u003cem\u003eSherlock Holmes card game\u003c\/em\u003e at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.boardgamegeek.com\/boardgame\/458\" title=\"More about Sherlock Holmes card game on BoardGameGeek (in a new window)\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBoardGameGeek\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"GFPFtr\" align=\"right\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games from Pevans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58452168769861,"sku":"521","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/0116\/7685\/files\/Sherlock-Holmes-card-game-cover.jpg?v=1783095800","url":"https:\/\/games.pevans.co.uk\/products\/sherlock-holmes-card-game","provider":"Games from Pevans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
