📖 About This Game
Agents of Sherlock Holmes is a solo-only worker placement roll-and-write game where you partner with Sherlock Holmes to solve two cases of varying difficulty. Over 15 days, you strategically place agents around London, collecting items and actions to meet Holmes’ requirements for solving the cases.
This game introduces an innovative mechanic in the roll-and-write genre, combining worker placement with hidden movement for a deeply immersive and challenging experience. The pathfinding mechanic sets Agents of Sherlock Holmes apart from traditional worker placement games, as it requires not only gathering resources but also ensuring their safe return to Baker Street.
With 14 mission cards offering more than 90 potential combinations, the game provides high replayability. Each playthrough generates unique narrative moments, ensuring no two games are alike. Additionally, with a playtime of just 15 minutes (including setup and cleanup), it’s easy to fit in a game or even a pair of them in a short period.
