Sherlock: Asesinato en el Sind Mail

About this board game

Sherlock: Asesinato en el Sind Mail is a 60-minute investigative card game for 1–8 players, set around a death aboard the Sind Mail passenger train.

Working as a team of detectives, you must determine who is responsible, how the crime was committed, and why. Examine the available clues, discuss your theories, and connect the information needed to solve the case.

Each player chooses a card from their hand and places it on the table so everyone can read or see the full information. When sharing a clue, it is recommended that the text is read aloud. However, players cannot show cards still in their hands to the others; they may only read aloud the words in bold or text framed inside an image.

• Play clues openly for the whole team to examine.
• Discuss theories and talk about the cards in your hand without revealing them.
• Decide which information is relevant, since an irrelevant clue can cost points.
• Work together to answer the final questionnaire.

Some clues are essential to resolving the mystery, while others may be irrelevant to the case and reduce your score at the end. Careful judgment is therefore vital as the investigation develops.

Once all clue cards have been revealed or discarded, review every piece of available information and prepare a shared theory of what happened. During this final stage, you may freely discuss discarded cards and any information you remember. Each correct answer in the questionnaire adds two points.

With its focused investigation and information-sharing restrictions, Sherlock: Asesinato en el Sind Mail challenges your group to remember, interpret, and combine the evidence before reaching its conclusion.
