Play the villain, Holmes or Watson as they set out to solve one of their celebrated cases, 100 years ago. The game starts at 221B Baker Street, with Holmes waking Watson from sleep; the game is afoot! Travel by Hansom or train, visit locations in the country or in London. Find clues, name suspects, receive telegrams, use disguises, check alibis and make arrests. Thick fog will confuse everyone. Play ends when the villain is arrested or escapes.

A unique card game inspired by the Sherlock Holmes stories which were first published by London's Strand Magazine in the 1890s.

All the cards are illustrated with pictures drawn from original material and faithfully capture the atmosphere of the period.

Specially written notes with references are included in the rules.
An advertising card is included that refers to other Sherlock Holmes games by Gibsons Games.
