221b Baker Street

The Master Detective Game

A Variant


This is a variant suggestion for the 1975 boardgame
‘221b Baker Street’ by John N. Hansen Co. Inc.


This File
Print pages 2 & 3 of this PDF double-sided on light
card stock and cut out the HANSOM CAB cards.


Movement
At the start of the game give each player 3
HANSOM CAB cards. When used, these allow the
player to move to any space on the board. Discard
the cards when played; they are removed from
the game.

Leave the die in the game box. General movement

is a simple 5 square maximum, with the player’s
turn ending if their pawn enters a searchable area
– whether they search it or not. This includes the
Park, the Hotel and the Museum.


Solutions
Before announcing a solution at 221b Baker Street, a
player must have visited at least eight locations.


Two Players
When starting a two player game, each person
should receive 2 SCOTLAND YARD cards
(instead of 1) and 1 SKELETON KEY card. This is
the maximum number of these cards that they may
hold at any time during the game.
