From BoardGameGeek

An unsavoury crime has been committed in Mintsby and you, the amateur sleuth Sherbet Holmes, aided by your dear friend Dr Winegum, are charged with solving the case. You must move around the randomly generated playing area, search locations and memorise the suspects you encounter. For, when you have eliminated the innocent, whoever remains, however improbable, must be the culprit. A glance at your pocket watch shows you only have 12 hours remaining. Come, Winegum, the game is afoot... The game is a take on a 'find the pairs' memory game. Find the pair of tiles of a suspect to eliminate them from your enquiries. However, there are also other tiles which can help or hinder your investigation. And you must solve the case against the clock. Dice are used to move to and from locations so your choice of where to search may be restricted - fortunately Dr Winegum is there to help you. Elemintary was an entry in the 2016 Mint Tin Design contest and it did rather well: 2nd place (equal): Best Overall Design 1st place: Best Artwork & Graphic Design 2nd place: Best Written Rules 4th place: Best Theme
