Description
Watson & Holmes: A Damsel in Distress lets you and a crew of up to seven friends slip into a fog‑filled London night where a mysterious lady has vanished and the streets are buzzing with suspicion. In about 45‑75 minutes you’ll be shuffling a modular board, scribbling clues with paper‑and‑pencil, and tossing out bids in quick‑fire auctions while trying to remember who said what. The rules are so light you can jump straight into the drama, but the blend of bluffing, deduction and sneaky simultaneous action selection keeps every round feeling fresh. As players get eliminated, the tension spikes – you’ll be sweating over who’s really pulling the strings behind the murder‑mystery curtain. Designed by Jesús Torres Castro and released in 2015, this expansion adds a juicy new case to the classic Watson & Holmes experience without ever slowing the fun down.
