About the game
This is a game, based on a famous novel by Boris Akunin, famous Russian writer. His novels are translated into many languages, including English. It is on the novel Coronation that our game is based. It uses a popular game mechanics: Scotland Yard, Mister X, and Fury of Dracula. The mechanics is modified, of course. Players must work together to capture the arch-villain, Dr. Lindt. There are various ways to find out where Dr. Lindt was within a few turns before the current one. There are also traps that Dr. Lindt sets on his path (special cards are used). Detectives (characters from the book) can avoid falling into those traps by using different tools, which are also depicted on cards. Each detective gets a certain number of those cards at the beginning of the game. The game is designed in sepia colours, using actual historical photographs of Moscow, end of the 19th century.
