Description

In Sherlock 13, you'll take on the role of a detective trying to unmask the infamous thief Arsene Lupin, who's hiding in plain sight among the players. The game is easy to learn and can be played with 2 to 4 friends in just 15 minutes. Each player gets a set of character cards, each with 2 to 3 characteristics, and then you start gathering clues by asking questions to figure out which disguise Arsene has chosen. As you ask questions and gather evidence, you'll try to deduce which character Arsene is hiding behind. You can ask questions like "who has this characteristic?" or "how many of these characteristics do you have?" to get closer to the truth. When you think you've got it, you can make an accusation and check the hidden card to see if you're right. If you are, you win the game, but if you're wrong, you're out of the game and the others keep playing. It's a quick and thrilling game of deduction and detection that's perfect for fans of mystery and suspense.
