Sherlock*
Sherlock is a memory-style card game where one card depicts Sherlock and 49 cards show an image, an arrow, and a number from 1 to 4. Players initially memorize the eight face-up cards arranged in a circle before flipping them over. During their turn, players position the Sherlock card next to a card, name the object, and check for accuracy to advance around the circle. The first player to collect 6 cards wins the game.
