Tabletop game - Sherlock Dog. Detective from Baker Street

Dog Toby had been an unparalleled seeker since his youth: his nose could smell the tiniest criminals from a mile away. That is why he spent many years helping Sherlock Holmes, for no dog, not just in London but even in all of England, had such a sense of smell! But time passed, and the day came when his owner could no longer take care of Toby, and Sherlock took the dog for himself. By that time, the seeker’s sense of smell had already significantly weakened, but the detective was happy with the simple company of a loyal assistant.
Toby enjoyed living on Baker Street, and soon he made friends with other inhabitants of the area: the frog Glinno, the mouse Vishenka, the spider Kalabash, and the tit Verresk. They all adored Toby's stories about the cases that he and Sherlock Holmes had to investigate. And then the clever dog had an idea: although he was old and couldn't help Sherlock with cases on his own, he could teach his friends the craft of a detective!

About the game
In the tabletop detective game "Sherlock Dog: Detective from Baker Street," you will take on the role of Toby's friends, whom he will teach to be real detectives. You will encounter several intricate and engaging investigations, during which each detective will certainly stand out. This is a cooperative game, where success can only be achieved by working harmoniously as a team. But before starting the investigations, you must pass a small test from Toby and convince him that you can handle the task assigned to you!

How to play?
Inside the box, you will find several tangled cases to study, assisted by an investigation book containing all the information about the case, as well as decks of cards corresponding to the selected case (they are numbered with Roman numerals I, II... according to the case number). To prove your mastery, in the first game you will need to complete that very test from Toby – the training investigation "The Case of the Priceless Hat," during which you will learn all the rules of the game. You will visit various locations around Baker Street not only during the day but also at night! Interrogating other inhabitants and gathering evidence to incriminate the criminals in their deeds. All detectives have their unique skills that can help in various situations. For example, the mouse Vishenka, due to her small size, can inspect a location in more detail, noticing what others miss, and her sharp teeth can chew through anything! The game always involves 4 detectives, so depending on the number of players, some will manage multiple detectives.

Regardless of the investigation, the sequence of actions is always the same:

- Choose an open location on the board to which you want to move
- Move the time token from the time card to that location
- Move the detectives’ figure to it
- Take the card for that location
- Decide whether you will play the detectives’ cards or other items
- After finishing playing the cards, return to the first step

Who won?
Investigating a crime is work for a whole team of specialists, so successfully closing a case brings victory to all players. However, if the time is dragged out too much, the case may reach a deadlock, and then the detectives will also lose together.

Game duration: from 45 minutes

Number of players: from 1 to 4
