With me Theakston!! - A Victorian Detective Tabletop Game In 28mm.

                        WATCHING THE DETECTIVES.



I wanted a game where I could walk up to my diorama, pick a card and see where it took me. The game I devised has three types of cards; Blue are police, Red are witness and Green are evidence, to progress through each card you must first draw a police card and score the percentile number on it with two D10.

Once this is done you may pick a witness card, again, the number on it has to be scored, if this is accomplished you move onto the evidence card and if you have success there you have your criminal! It's not as easy as it sounds but I found it great fun and that's what counts. So here we go.......

Detective Inspector Bolton and Detective Sergeant Theakston of Hobbs End CID are on the trail of a violent criminal who is hiding out somewhere in Hobbs End.
