Yet to play.
Nice add-on to own, not as nice to play with though. What's worse is that this expansion is barely even used since Stone isn't typically taken very often and even when it is, it's not necessarily the Stone action that would yield a X Deck card. A small deck of cards appear to be a mix of occupation, improvement, and some strange blue and red cards.
Doesn't make the game any better unless you like more humour and random elements. It's FUN.

Description An additional set of cases for 221b Baker Street. Players hide "letterboxes" somewhere on the board and write clues for the other players. "Saga minigame recreates a mythical time period occuring sometime after the fall of Rome - the age of heroes and vikings! A player gains victory points both when she finds other letterboxes and when other players find hers. A feature of the game is that if you merge with one or two different pieces you take one or two extra moves. The tiles start off as calm seas, and players play cards to control the movement of their ship.

Found mine on a garage sale for only 1 euro. It seems a good game, full of battles, but I didn't having just one card pile for both player.

Description Tien Len can be considered the national card game of Vietnam; the name of the game, means Go Forward. Use your powers of detection to thwart your rival and disprove his theory of the crime before he has a chance to do the same to you. A fast paced action game for 2 players. The best survived, and went on to glory and profit.

First played this during lunch in high school. For download). The mechanism is simple but effective. May have more appeal for miniatures gamers.
Nothing special, but good for knocking off an hour or so. My rating for basic Monopoly is 6.
An excellent pocket miniatures game.

Description During the drying season all kangaroos are very thirsty. It is necessary that they reach the next water hole. Fidchess has little to do with Fidchell, except that they are both abstract strategy games. Each player has a deck of cards showing the same people, in different poses. The object of the game is to capture your opponent's men. Your moves are governed by numbers indicated by the arrow on the dial which you spin in order to get results. The fourth edition, titled and based on the children's edition of the game ("JOKER, JOKER, JOKER") used the "Beat The Devil" Bonus (like the syndicated run of the show) which featured "spinning" dollar amounts to reach $1000 or more before revealing a Devil.

This is a great lunch-break game. It is a good game, I think it'd be even more fun with more players. Excellent component quality. There's a good smattering of missions and races included, and the robot (solitaire) rules are included. It's a great game for free but I wouldn't pay for it. You can make your own scenarios in a few minutes.
Identical to the early television series. Simple.
Fun memory game, speed essential. Interesting concept.
Fun memory game, speed essential. Would be great for gaming on long trips etc. I prefer Quiddler slightly, and only because there's less to focus on (one hand of cards -vs- 1 hand * n players).

Description Abstract two-player game with short playing time. Each time team comes up with the right solution they may move one step and demand another question or throw a die (0-3) and let the turn continue to the other team. A player can stop and keep the cards at any time, but if a duplicate appears, the cards must be given out as gifts. - Gaming the Wars for America 1775-1783 Runes 5 is the only expansion to not offer new characters or spells, instead featuring only the Mystic Item Cards. Use of this product as directed leads to the creation of new and patentable inventions.

Math Trade JAB 2010 Fun to play, especially when she wins. It does take a while (5min) to setup the game since you need to sort the clues and answers. I'll find a box or rubberband to fix that issue.
Played when I was around 7 and will still play it now to pass time. Short playing time.
Sentimental value. Perhaps good back in 1954, but it has been left behind. What's the point?
This game is a classic, and probably deserves a higher rating in recognition of that.

Description Part of a series of "Yotta Know..." The game board of this game uses a variation of the hexagonal modular map sections used in Avalon Hill's Magic Realm and Mayfair's The Settlers of Catan, providing a different board layout for each game.
Comments
This game has many features that I would normally associate with a flawed game: It lasts all day; It can result in someone having so many extra goes that another player has time to go and make supper (possibly a 3 course meal) between turns; finding a particular rule is nearly impossible and it is corny as hell.
Fun game that works with 2 players (control 2 families each). Played it with friends only once, I think.
GREAT SOLITAIRE GAME. Can't wait to play through this one. :)
The high vote reflects the playability and the fact that this game is both a multiplayer and solitaire fun.

This is a better game for elementry kids`! It comes with a new guardian, a new setting, and the Dragon-Humanoid monster cards. I have, but don't. Molding wax coming with game is crappy, get better one from local store.
Played a couple of times with the kids but they were a bit young for it.

Description A Perry Moore alternate reality DTP wargame on a hypothetical German invasion of Syria from Turkey during World War 2. The board is a simple scoring track and large flags for each country. Each pack also adds 2 new Adventures that feature the new figures, as well as additional Banners to deploy them within either camp. Don’t miss the chance to discover the bellissima Catalina Santana, who not only has the looks but an attitude to match her Porsche. All players win when all colors are removed before the 20th turn, otherwise everyone loses.
Comments
A very interesting, but random game on car production. Fixes some balancing problems from the base game.
Update 5/7/11 Trade Interest: none original packaging discarded, using plano boxes.
Got it via European Chain of Generosity.

Mechanic Card Drafting
Description Tula resembles solitaire & Shanghai. Degree of difficulty: 5/6 Just like the earlier "Koe zoekt Boer" (Happy Cows) it is inspired on realty TV shows. Use enough of the funny Closer lines and proceed around the board and enter Yuk Yuk's comedy hall of fame. The only thing worse than a long winter is a long winter of war. Bertha, Gretha, Johanna, Jacoba en Klara search the best bulls who have the best tools to do the job. Fronts are prepared face down, until the offensive is declared. Fronts are laid out like in Caesar & Cleopatra (or Hera & Zeus --those kinds of games).
Comments
A very nice set of modern/sci-fi miniatures rules that works very well for humans, but not so well for alien psychologies that don't react to gunfire the same way we do.
