The Great Sherlock Deck: A Set of Holmes-Inspired Card Games

The game is afoot! With this six-in-one set of 60 cards plus rules book, two to six players can become the detectives as they unravel the iconic mysteries of Sherlock Holmes.

The Great Sherlock Deck turns the works of Arthur Conan Doyle into a unique 60-card deck based around thirteen well-known Sherlock Holmes mysteries. It’s family fun for ages twelve and up so anyone can play. Each of the six card games included in the rules book plays like a classic card game, so it’s easy to get started and join in on the fun.

• Play Mysteries, a variant of Go Fish, as you try to collect all the clues for as many of the thirteen mysteries as you can.
• Declare It’s Elemental in a variation on crazy eights where you work to get rid of all the cards--and clues--in your hand.
• Try the Sherlock Snap, where you play the classic game of snap by matching the same type of clue from different mysteries until someone else is left holding all the cards at the end.
• Or play one of your favorite card games - the cards can be used just like a regular deck!

Everything you need to play is included in the box, and with six games to choose from there’s always something new to investigate. Join the Baker Street irregulars and get on the case!
