221 B. Baker St. and The Time Machine

Welcome back gaming audience for yet another second hand find that I came across at the Bookmans on Speedway. It does manage to tie into the last game I talked about in my last post.

It's time to put your deerstalker cap back on and grab a magnifying glass to take on the roll Sherlock Holmes in 221 B. Baker St. and The Time Machine.

The game was published in 1996 as a new deluxe edition of 221 B. Baker St. by the John N. Hansen Company. My copy however was printed in 1997.

The game ranges for $12.93 to $64.94 depending on the type and condition. The copy I got a hold of at Bookmans cost me $8.

The copy I got wasn't in the greatest condition as a corner of the box was ripped and one of the tokens was broken as well. However, those issues are minor in my opinion as long as the game is entertaining.

The game is considered a deluxe edition but there are some changes to the game. For one you are able to try and solve mysteries throughout time.

221 B Baker Street

Hello again, I'm back with a new used game that I purchased at Bookmans on Speedway and Wilmot.

The game is "221 B Baker Street" and it is a master detective board game that has twenty original adventures in the Sherlock Holmes mystery realm.

The copy I picked up cost me $7 when it retails for around $20. It was published by the John N. Hansen Company.

Hansen Company was established in 1947 and puts out numerous toys and games like Hoberman Spheres and board games from Parker Brothers.

The game was originally printed in 1975.

It appears that my particular copy of 221 B Baker Street was published in 1977-78.

The game has 20 different mysteries to solve in which the game suggests that you play them in order 1-20. A rough estimate of about an hour and 20 minutes for each mystery.

The object of the game is to travel around the board collecting enough clues for you to feel confident enough head back to 221 B Baker Street and solve the mystery.
