From BoardGameGeek

Did you know the notorious detective Sherlock Holmes has lived adventures all over the world... and through time? This time, our beloved character changes the 221B of Baker Street for feudal Japan to investigate a mysterious theft at the palace. However, this is a case he can't solve alone, and he will need your help to figure out what was stolen, who did it, and where. In Sherlock in Time, each player is investigating a crime on their own. You start with a hand of clue cards that show one of four suspects, one of three locations, and one of three stolen objects. One of the clue cards in your hand faces the other players, not you, and you must identify the three symbols on this secret card in order to solve your crime. On a turn, place a card from your hand face up. The other players will tell you how many symbols on the revealed card - 0, 1, or 2 - match the symbols on your secret card, but not which ones. Place the revealed card on a reminder card so that you can remember how many clues matched, then either end your turn or attempt to identify the three symbols on your secret card. (Remember that you can see the secret card held by each other player, in addition to their revealed cards.) If you're correct, you score points based on how many others have already guessed their secret card; if you're incorrect, you're out of the round. The game lasts three rounds, and once during the game you can spend your honor card to learn whether one specific symbol is on your secret card. An unused honor card serves as a tiebreaker, so don't spend it unless you have to. At the end of three rounds, the player with the most points wins. Once you're comfortable with the game, you can add additional clue cards that introduce a fourth stolen object, which makes the game more challenging. Sherlock in Time is a game with easy and straightforward rules which you can extend with Watson in Time. With this game mode you'll get extra assistants with special skills that make the game more fun and unpredictable. Will you be clever enough to solve the mystery that haunts the palace and earn Sherlock Holmes' respect? -description from the publisher
