“As the events unfold, day by day, can you clear Anny Forster of the charges against her? Where are Amelie Thacker’s porcelain birds? What is Mycroft’s role in this affair? These are only a few of the mysteries that will challenge your deductive reasoning as you spend a few days in May of 1889 trying to solve the Adventures by Gaslight.”
This is a supplement to the Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective game and requires components from that game in order to play. The game challenges your deductive reasoning skills and ability to discern important details from generally available information. No luck is involved, just your mental ability. Great fun with a group of fellow sleuths or as a challenge all by yourself. Contents:
· Case Book – a 24-page book containing the rules, daily briefings for each of the five days of the case, questions, solution and answers.
· Clue Book – 143 numbered clues and the clue point listing.
· Newspaper Archive – a collection of loose newspapers which provide clues and information pertaining to the cases as well as general Victoriana
· Newspaper and Post Card – two of the clues you discover
· 11” x 17” Map of Paris, circa 1889
It was originally published by Jeux Descartes in 1986 as the third volume for the French edition of the game as L'Affaire de L'Oiseau de Papier, and translated in 1988 into English, when it became the official fourth volume in the English Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective series. The Queen's Park Affair, which is volume three in the English series, was volume four in France.
