Description
Scotland Yard: Hunting Mister X is a fast-paced game of cat and mouse set in the streets of London. One player takes on the role of Mister X, a sneaky fugitive trying to evade capture, while the others play as detectives working together to track him down. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, this game is easy to pick up and play, making it perfect for a quick 10 to 20 minute game night. As Mister X navigates the city using taxis, buses, and subways, the detectives are hot on his heels, trying to catch up and catch him. With Mister X's position almost always known, the game becomes an open chase around London, with the detectives giving Mister X their travel tickets as they move, which are worth victory points. The player who collects the most points wins, making each turn as Mister X a thrilling challenge to outsmart the detectives and come out on top.
