Sherlock and Lovecraft Collide | Bureau of Investigation

Watch “Sherlock and Lovecraft Collide | Bureau of Investigation,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by the creator on YouTube:

Bureau of Investigation: Investigations in Arkham & Elsewhere (What a title!) is the first game in the Consulting Detective line that does not take place and features the world of Sherlock Holmes. Instead, we jump into the dark world of Lovecraft in the 1920s, where not everything is as it seems. It will be up to you to not just solve the mysteries, but see what lies beyond the normalcy we choose to live in. This will come with only 5 cases vs the usual 10, but be ready for each case to change just as drastically as how our reality bends to elder gods. A copy of Bureau of Investigation was provided to Roll For Crit for the purposes of this video.
