Have you ever had the desire to walk the streets of Victorian London
with Sherlock Holmes in search of Professor Moriarty? To search the
docks for the giant rat Sumatra? To walk up Baker Street as the fog is
rolling in and hear Holmes cry out, "Come, Watson, come! The game is
afoot!"? Now you can!
You can enter the opium den beneath the Bar of
Gold, but beware, that may be Colonel Sebastian Moran lurking around the
corner. You can capture the mystery and excitement of Holmes' London in
this challenging and informative game. You, the player, will match your
deductive abilities against your opponents and the master sleuth
himself, Sherlock Holmes.
In Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective,
you are presented with a mystery to solve, and it is then up to you to
trace the threads of evidence through the byways and mansions of
nineteenth century London. You will interview suspects, search the
newspapers for clues, and put together the facts to reach a solution.
Why were two lions murdered in Hyde Park? Who is responsible for the
missing paintings from the National Gallery? Who murdered Oswald Mason
and why? These are just a few of the cases that will challenge your
ingenuity and deductive abilities.
This is not a board game: No dice, no luck, but a challenge to your
mental ability. The game has been thoroughly researched for Holmesian
and Victorian accuracy so as to capture a feeling of that bygone era.
