Scotland Yard
Scotland Yard
In Scotland Yard, one of the players takes on the role of Mr. X. His job is to move from point to point around the map of London taking taxis, buses or subways. The detectives – that is, the remaining players acting in concert – move around similarly in an effort to move into the same space as Mr. X. But while the criminal's mode of transportation is nearly always known, his exact location is only known intermittently throughout the game.

TDT # 269 - Games that Got us into Gaming
In this episode, Tom and Eric podcast live from GenCon 2012!
But don't worry, we don't talk all about the fair. Instead, Eric gives us some first impressions of the new Merchant of Venus, and we review other games such as Smash Up and Flower Fall. We have a host of contributors, and end the episode with our question of the week - what game got you into gaming? But instead of just us answering the question - we have answers from designers, publishers, and more!
