Q: I have the first and second versions. Is this the new look to the first ? Thanks.

If I'm reading this correctly: There have been three main editions of this game in the English language. Sleuth Publications in 1982, Ystari in 2012 and this version by Space Cowboys in 2017. All three have exactly the same 10 cases beginning with case 1: The Munitions Magnate. The difference between them is in translation and presentation. The Sleuth and Ystari versions have numerous spelling and translation errors from the original French which have reportedly been fixed for the Space Cowboys release. The errors were generally easily spotted, but I know it annoyed a lot of customers. This edition also does things like putting the solutions to the cases in envelopes (whereas previously they were almost alongside the questions in the case books) and using a more readable font than the Ystari version.Basically, the Space Cowboys version is the best Consulting Detective has ever looked, but there's no actual new content/cases in it, so if you already own the previous editions, there's no reason to buy this one. Maybe try the Jack the Ripper expansion? That has a few brand new cases and a reprint of the old 80s expansion 'West End Adventures'. If you prefer a more Lovecraftian horror atmosphere, then Mythos Tales uses the same mechanic.

Q: Hello, can anyone tell me how many cases there are and what they are called?Thanks!

There are ten cases: 1. The Munitions Magnate 2. The Tin Soldier 3. The Mystified Murderess 4. The Lionised Lions 5. The Cryptic Corpse 6. The Mummy’s Curse 7. The Banker’s Quietus 8. The Thames Murders 9. The Solicitors Solicitor 10. The Pilfered Paintings

Q: Do you need to have the original consulting detective to play? Is this an expansion?

This game re-implements Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective originally published by Ystari. The 10 cases are the same. Sherlock Holmes: Jack the Ripper & West End Adventures is a stand alone game with new cases.

Q: Is this a good game for two?

Two is the sweet spot. It's fun solo, but the game really pops once you have someone to sound ideas off as you can get excited about the developments together and share in the experience. Three players is ok too, but anything more and people start to feel left out and lose interest as the stronger or more confident players will take the lead. Plays Best at 2 Is still good at 3 or Solo
