deduction

Watson & Holmes is a game of deduction set within the magnificent works of Arthur Conan Doyle. Two to seven aspiring detectives step into the shoes of Doctor Watson, working alongside the detective Sherlock Holmes to try to solve a series of so far unpublished cases directly extracted from Doctor John H. Watson's diaries. Those who accept the challenge relive the adventures of the crime-solving duo, visiting each of the locations where the inquiries were made. Following the trail, each clue brings players closer to solving the case.

The objective of the game is to immerse yourself in the Victorian world depicted in each story. Visit the right places, decipher the clues, and above all find the path that leads you to solve the mystery before anybody else. Victory goes to the player who accurately uses the deductive reasoning so famously and ingeniously implemented by the hero of 221B Baker Street.

The game consists of a series of separate cases, each of which raises a number of questions that each player tries to solve before anyone else. To do this, once the case and the questions have been read aloud, players proceed to visit the locations where the clues are located. Each location cannot be accessed by more than one player at any one time, so if two or more players want to go to the same place, the player who travels there the fastest (i.e., he who uses the largest number of Carriage Tokens) gets the clue, forcing the others to go to a different location. Once every player has a destination, they proceed to read in secret the clue that was discovered at that location. They can discreetly take any notes they deem appropriate. Once this is done, the cards are returned to their place so that others can read them in later turns.

This procedure is repeated during each turn until one player believes he has found the solutions to the case; at that time, he must go to 221B Baker Street to check if his answers are correct. If all the answers are correct, the player wins; if they are wrong, he will have lost and retires from the game, and the game continues.

Each detective will also have the invaluable assistance of a number of Sherlock Holmes' allies, above all, the good Dr Watson and of course of the detective himself.

Watson & Holmes es un juego de deducción basado en la admirable obra de Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Cada uno de los dos a siete jugadores adoptará el papel del Dr. John Watson y acompañará a Sherlock Holmes en la investigación de una serie de casos inéditos hasta ahora, intentando resolver cada uno de ellos antes de que el gran detective le brinde la solución correcta. Para ello, cada jugador deberá sumergirse en la Inglaterra victoriana e ir recopilando, en distintas localizaciones, las pistas extraídas de los diarios del propio Dr. Watson, con el fin de encajarlas correctamente por medio de la lógica deductiva.

Y, todo esto, sin demorarse por el camino, pues solo aquél que resuelva el misterio antes que sus contrincantes se ganará la confianza del genio de Baker Street.

El juego se compone de una serie de casos independientes, cada uno de los cuáles plantea una serie de interrogantes que cada jugador tratará de resolver antes que los demás.
Para ello, una vez se lean el caso y las preguntas en voz alta, los jugadores procederán a visitar las localizaciones donde las pistas se encuentran. Cada localización no puede ser visitada por más de un jugador, de manera que, en caso de que dos o más quieran dirigirse a la misma, el jugador que más corra (utilizando un mayor número de fichas de Carruaje) obtendrá la pista correspondiente, debiendo los demás dirigirse a otras localizaciones.
Una vez cada jugador obtenga un destino, todos procederán a leer en secreto la pista aparejada a la localización correspondiente, pudiendo tomar discretamente las anotaciones que estimen pertinentes. Hecho esto, se devolverán las cartas de pista a su lugar para que los demás puedan leerla en rondas posteriores.
Este procedimiento se repetirá cada ronda, hasta que un jugador crea haber hallado la solución al caso: en ese momento, habrá de dirigirse al 221B para comprobar si sus respuestas son acertadas.
En caso de ser todas correctas, habrá ganado. En caso de error, habrá perdido y se retirará de la partida.
Cada detective contará, además, con la inestimable ayuda de una serie de aliados de Sherlock Holmes, así como con la del propio detective y, sobre todo, la del buen Dr. Watson.

Spyfall is a party game unlike any other, one in which you get to be a spy and try to understand what's going on around you. It's really simple!

Spyfall is played over several rounds, and at the start of each round all players receive cards showing the same location — except that one player receives a card that says "Spy" instead of the location. Players then start asking each other questions — "Why are you dressed so strangely?" or "When was the last time we got a payday?" or anything else you can come up with — trying to guess who among them is the spy. The spy doesn't know where he is, so he has to listen carefully. When it's his time to answer, he'd better create a good story!

At any time during a round, one player may accuse another of being a spy. If all other players agree with the accusation, the round ends and the accused player has to reveal his identity. If the spy is uncovered, all other players score points. However, the spy can himself end a round by announcing that he understands what the secret location is; if his guess is correct, only the spy scores points.

After a few rounds of guessing, suspicion and bluffing, the game ends and whoever has scored the most points is victorious!

Spyfall 2 features the same gameplay as Spyfall with two important changes: (1) Enough location cards are included that the upper player count is now twelve instead of eight, and (2) two spies can be found at each location, giving all of the non-spy players more of a challenge when it comes to tracking down who doesn't belong.

Last Friday is a hidden movement, hunting and deduction board game, inspired by the popular "slasher" horror movie genre. In the role of young campers, the players are challenged to survive a long weekend of terror – while one of them takes the role of the undying psychopath hiding in the shadows of the forest. In general, the murderer's goal is to remain hidden and to kill off each of the campers, while the campers are trying to fight back and kill the murderer before they are all killed.

The game is played over four chapters — Arrival at the Camp, The Chase, The Massacre, and The Final Chapter — and each chapter plays out differently as the hunter becomes the prey, then comes back from the dead looking for revenge.

Guess the color of hidden pegs. A deduction game where each player takes turn making a limited number of guesses, using logic to deduce what pegs the opponent has hidden.

One player secretly puts four colored pegs in the spaces behind a screen at once end of the game board. The other player, the code breaker, makes a series of guesses. After each guess, the code maker uses smaller pegs to tell the code breaker if their guessed pegs are the right color and in the right place, are the right color but the wrong place, or are the wrong color entirely. The code breaker makes another guess in the next row, building upon information from previous guesses, trying to match the pegs the code maker hid at the beginning of the game.

This is a two-player game with 4 holes. For other combinations, please see the Mastermind family.
