I Say, Holmes! is a card game based on the classic adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. As observers on Holmes’ current case, you will play a variety of cards to push the case forward, creating the story as Holmes and Watson attempt to arrest the villain; the only problem is that at least one of you is acting as a double agent, endeavoring to assist the villains as they try to slip from the Great Detective's grasp. This new version of I Say, Holmes! features completely new custom art created by Clark Miller (Darkest Night, Trieste) showcased on 125 playing cards, alongside custom-shaped, laser-cut counters; we’ve brought all of our expertise to bear on making I Say, Holmes! into one of our most stunningly beautiful game yet.
