Baskerville Productions
One of our latest licences is with Baskerville Productions for a fantastic 1000 piece puzzle and fascinating tabletop game.Â
Both games are great fun and are sure to challenge you! The games carry the marque of The Conan Doyle Estate to authenticate both products.Â
We’ve greatly enjoyed working on this project!
The Original Sherlock Holmes and his Baker Street Irregulars Tabletop GameÂ
Dive into the world of Sherlock Holmes in this easy-to-learn, quick-to-play, competitive, currency-based, card-drafting game.Â
You'll encounter people, places and things featured throughout the 60 stories penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (produced by permission of Conan Doyle Estate, Ltd.).Â
With the Baker Street Irregulars (BSI) at your disposal, visit locations, gather witnesses, and inspect artefacts in order to make the key arrests.Â
Manage your BSI wisely to earn end-of-round bonuses to improve your chances of victory.Â
Compete against other inspectors (up to 5 players) to earn the most "reputation" (victory points) and establish yourself as a rival to the Master Detective. (Or jump into solo-mode where you take on Sherlock 1-on-1!)
Piecing Together the Canon PuzzleÂ
This 20"x29" jigsaw puzzle features artwork on BOTH sides, for an extra challenge! One side showcases 60 unique artefacts from the 60 Holmes cases scattered about the illustration. The other side is a collage of 60 original illustrations, one from each story, in a grid. The border colours are specifically chosen to represent the colours found on the Master Detective's dressing gown - blue, purple and mouse (officially adopted as the colours of the Baker Street Irregulars in 1950).
For an added challenge, the top and bottom borders of both sides contain the same black background and white text, leading to you needing to both "see and observe" as you determine to which side each puzzle piece belongs. Solution hint: It may be easier to work the puzzle from the inside out
