	Description Edit \| History

One of the players takes on the role of Mr. X. His job is to move from point to point around the map of London taking taxis, buses or subways. The detectives, the remaining players acting in concert, move around similarly in an effort to move into the same space as Mr. X. But while the criminal's mode of transportation is nearly always known, his exact location is only known intermittently throughout the game.

Movement matrix (Excel)

This is a matrix of all the possible moves, shown as a table with the different types of tickets required to make each move, possible starting locations, and so forth. I used to moderate forum-based games a bit back in the day and created this as an alternative to the map itself as an aid.
