Sherlock Holmes would have loved it! Mr. X tries to elude capture on the streets of London as detectives (other players) pursue him via taxi, bus, and subway. The net tightens as Mr. X must reveal his position periodically throughout the chase. Ahh, but he has a few tricks up his sleeve and deftly slips through the "holes" by playing his special cards or catching a boat ride on the river Thames. Detectives must work together to thwart his escape and determine how best to trap the elusive Mr. X. Will they make brilliant deductions, or will the clever Mr. X outwit Scotland Yard's best? From 2 to 6 players, the game is more exciting with more detectives in pursuit. The game also offers an easier variation for beginners, so kids as young as eight can join in on the fun.
