This is a great reference for this game and the expansions. I have the original and am trying to hunt down all the expansions. I never realized the difference between the expansions, and your experience playing them is helpful. Keep up the great work!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1135623872884883212005-12-26T11:04:00.000-08:002005-12-26T11:04:00.000-08:00Great series, though the later expansions were muc...Great series, though the later expansions were much harder to work through than the base game.<BR/><BR/>Gumshoe, with it's great bits, and location (I live in the Bay Area, and all the action takes place around SF) seemed like a sure fire hit, but it is the least cohesive, and absolutely requires that you work on multiple cases at once. It appears to have a number of individual cases, but it is actually closer to the mega-cases of Queen's park.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1134771856075027372005-12-16T14:24:00.000-08:002005-12-16T14:24:00.000-08:00Like fellonmyhead, I've owned Sherlock Holmes: Con...Like fellonmyhead, I've owned Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective for years (20 or so) and have never played it. I also have the Mansion Murders expansion.<BR/><BR/>We're about to start packing for a holiday, with very limited space in the car. These might be just the thing for us to take away with us.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the inspiration!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12731608339380263848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1134770510225737112005-12-16T14:01:00.000-08:002005-12-16T14:01:00.000-08:00Encouraging stuff; I've owned SH:CD for years and ...Encouraging stuff; I've owned SH:CD for years and never played it. Maybe it's about time.<BR/><BR/>Sleuth Publications had some sort of connection with the local game shop of my youth, <B>Games of Liverpool</B>, and it is their address which appears in the game, if I remember.<BR/><BR/>The fellow who ran that shop has recently opened another game shop a few blocks away from where the original was, and though the shop part is a bit smaller he seems to be doing alright. I must pop in when I'm visiting the family.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, he told me something about how they were agents for the company over here, but I can't remember if they held responsibility for the worldwide distribution or just UK. Sorry I don't remember the details, and I apologise if I have misrepresented anyone or anything here.Pawnstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138454253813433739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1134769776156006162005-12-16T13:49:00.000-08:002005-12-16T13:49:00.000-08:00I agree that this series is brilliant.
