My brother and parents play this every year for Christmas. Two years ago we got my sister-in-law hooked! A great game.

Do you have any contact info for Sleuth Publications? I live in SF, but their old address (on the game) is now a hip eatery.

Glad you guys liked this one. I think it’s funny that at least two other groups of people played it around this time of year… strange coincidences.

A few things…

1) Happy belated birthday. I also hit that milestone in Dec.

2) Great podcast. This is another game I never got into but now will check out.

3) If you like mysteries, check out my webcomic. A shameless plug but I think you’d like it.

Hi Jim, for many years this game played an important part of my wife’s and my New Years Eve celebrations. We’d pour the cocktails and try to out-wit Mr. Holmes. (Not possible!) Eventually, we just wandered around talking to people, ignoring the rules for the most part. Fun, fun game, and your podcast was great. I played it for her and we agreed that you really gave it a good review. Happy New Year!
