Scotland Yard, the game, from Ravensburger, is a ‘cat and mouse’ game, where you need to follow clues to find the mysterious criminal mastermind, Mr. X! As a detective, you will travel through London by taxi, bus or the Underground and anticipate Mr. X’s movements.
In the game, one player is Mr. X, and the rest of the players are detectives. How to Play: First, choose a player to be Mr. X and give them a player piece, travel log with cover, and special travel tickets. The remaining players (the detectives) receive player pieces and travel tickets.
Then, players each draw cards indicating their starting station number and place their player pieces on the station. Mr. X will draw a card indicating their starting space and note it in their travel log without placing their player piece on the board.
The players take turns selecting the appropriate travel tickets (taxi, bus, underground) to move them from station to station, anticipating Mr. X’s arrival. Mr. X notes his moves in his secret travel log, surfacing only on specific moves but revealing the ticket he uses to get to his next undisclosed location.
4. Players work together to anticipate where Mr. X will surface next and beat him to that station.
5. If a player piece is on the station Mr. X noted in his secret travel log, that player wins the game. If all players use all travel tickets without capturing Mr. X, Mr. X wins the game.
Contains: 1 game board, 6 playing pieces, 29 start tickets, 130 tickets for different means of transportation, 1 travel log for Mr. X, 1 visor for Mr. X, 2 inserts and 2 rings for bobbies.
