Watson & Holmes is a game of deduction set within the magnificent works of Arthur Conan Doyle. Two to seven aspiring detectives step into the shoes of Doctor Watson, working alongside the detective Sherlock Holmes to try to solve a series of so far unpublished cases directly extracted from Doctor John H. Watson's diaries. Those who accept the challenge relive the adventures of the crime-solving duo, visiting each of the locations where the inquiries were made. Following the trail, each clue brings players closer to solving the case.

The objective of the game is to immerse yourself in the Victorian world depicted in each story. Visit the right places, decipher the clues, and above all find the path that leads you to solve the mystery before anybody else. Victory goes to the player who accurately uses the deductive reasoning so famously and ingeniously implemented by the hero of 221B Baker Street.

The game consists of a series of separate cases, each of which raises a number of questions that each player tries to solve before anyone else. To do this, once the case and the questions have been read aloud, players proceed to visit the locations where the clues are located. Each location cannot be accessed by more than one player at any one time, so if two or more players want to go to the same place, the player who travels there the fastest (i.e., he who uses the largest number of Carriage Tokens) gets the clue, forcing the others to go to a different location. Once every player has a destination, they proceed to read in secret the clue that was discovered at that location. They can discreetly take any notes they deem appropriate. Once this is done, the cards are returned to their place so that others can read them in later turns.

This procedure is repeated during each turn until one player believes he has found the solutions to the case; at that time, he must go to 221B Baker Street to check if his answers are correct. If all the answers are correct, the player wins; if they are wrong, he will have lost and retires from the game, and the game continues.

Each detective will also have the invaluable assistance of a number of Sherlock Holmes' allies, above all, the good Dr Watson and of course of the detective himself.

Watson & Holmes es un juego de deducción basado en la admirable obra de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Cada uno de los dos a siete jugadores adoptará el papel del Dr. John Watson y acompañará a Sherlock Holmes en la investigación de una serie de casos inéditos hasta ahora, intentando resolver cada uno de ellos antes de que el gran detective le brinde la solución correcta. Para ello, cada jugador deberá sumergirse en la Inglaterra victoriana e ir recopilando, en distintas localizaciones, las pistas extraídas de los diarios del propio Dr. Watson, con el fin de encajarlas correctamente por medio de la lógica deductiva.

Y, todo esto, sin demorarse por el camino, pues solo aquél que resuelva el misterio antes que sus contrincantes se ganará la confianza del genio de Baker Street.

El juego se compone de una serie de casos independientes, cada uno de los cuáles plantea una serie de interrogantes que cada jugador tratará de resolver antes que los demás.
Para ello, una vez se lean el caso y las preguntas en voz alta, los jugadores procederán a visitar las localizaciones donde las pistas se encuentran. Cada localización no puede ser visitada por más de un jugador, de manera que, en caso de que dos o más quieran dirigirse a la misma, el jugador que más corra (utilizando un mayor número de fichas de Carruaje) obtendrá la pista correspondiente, debiendo los demás dirigirse a otras localizaciones.
Una vez cada jugador obtenga un destino, todos procederán a leer en secreto la pista aparejada a la localización correspondiente, pudiendo tomar discretamente las anotaciones que estimen pertinentes. Hecho esto, se devolverán las cartas de pista a su lugar para que los demás puedan leerla en rondas posteriores.
Este procedimiento se repetirá cada ronda, hasta que un jugador crea haber hallado la solución al caso: en ese momento, habrá de dirigirse al 221B para comprobar si sus respuestas son acertadas.
En caso de ser todas correctas, habrá ganado. En caso de error, habrá perdido y se retirará de la partida.
Cada detective contará, además, con la inestimable ayuda de una serie de aliados de Sherlock Holmes, así como con la del propio detective y, sobre todo, la del buen Dr. Watson.

Reimplements Pandemic
Accessory Folded Space - Pandemic Stand Alone

Description from the publisher:

Welcome to the Iberian Peninsula! Set in 1848, Pandemic Iberia asks you to take on the roles of nurse, railwayman, rural doctor, sailor, and more to find the cures to malaria, typhus, the yellow fever, and cholera.

From Barcelona to Lisboa, you will need to travel by carriage, by boat, or by train to help the Iberian populace. While doing so, distributing purified water and developing railways will help you slow the spread of diseases in this new version of Pandemic.

Discover a unique part of the world during a historically significant time period: the construction of the first railroad in the Iberian Peninsula during the Spring of Nations.

The game comes with two variants that can be added :
  • Influx of Patients : the cubes, representing patients, will tend to flock to hospitals to try to get cured. Hospitals also are a bit more powerful.
  • Historical Diseases : instead of being generic, each disease has a specific power to better represent what it is (Malaria, Cholera, Yellow Fever etc.)

Templar: The Secret Treasures
 is an exciting family game in which the players help the Knights Templar to get their treasures to a secret abbey and hide them inside. Each player can use the different members of the abbey to help them hide the treasures – but every character is different and needs to be used wisely. Whoever hides the most treasures wins!

Each player has a hand of ten character cards and a starting supply of treasure: one book, one chalice, and a handful of signet rings that come in three types. A harbor with six storehouses is stocked with additional treasures, and three characters – Abbot Remigius, Vitus, and Prior Severus – are placed in the 13-room abbey.

For the first round of the game, each player secretly chooses a character card, then they all reveal them simultaneously, with players then carrying out the actions on those cards in player order. Some characters represent monks who help you move through the abbey and hide treasure, others allow you to take treasure from the harbor, open a locked door while closing off another passage, or move treasure that another player has already stashed, among other things. When a player moves Abbot Remigius, the Abbot rewards all players who have stashed treasure in the room in which he ends his movement, with all of the treasure then being marked as scored – other than duplicate signet rings, which can score again should the Abbot return. (Vitus, who isn't controlled by a card, follows the Abbot closely to spy upon him, thus keeping the Abbot from returning to the most recent room he entered.) If the Prior Severus is in a room, though, the Abbot can't do his thing as Severus would then discover the treasure and learn of the Knights' actions.

After the initial round, a player must play a character card that doesn't match the top character card on any player's discard pile – which means that you (and others) play both offense and defense with the same character card, restricting the action of others while ideally making good use of the character yourself. When a player lays down The Bells card, he picks up all of his played cards, then restocks the harbor based on the number of his previously played character card.

When the harbor can no longer be filled properly or when a player has placed at least one treasure in each room, the final round is triggered, then players have a final scoring for their rings still in the abbey and for the number of rooms that hold their treasure. Whoever scores the most points wins!X ]]>
