Sherlock Memory Game
Sherlock is a children’s memory style card game; with one card showing Sherlock and 49 cards showing an image; an arrow; and a number from 1-4. Players lay eight of the 49 cards face-up in a circle; with the draw pile in the middle. Before beginning the game; players take some time to memorize the images on the cards in the circle; after which all the clue cards are turned over.
At the beginning of a player's turn; s/he places the Sherlock card next to a card; then names the object on the card Sherlock is next to and turns the card over to check. If s/he is correct; s/he moves around the circle; in the direction of the arrow; the number of spaces specified by the number on the card. S/he then guesses the object on that next card; if s/he is incorrect; all the cards are turned over again for the next player. If s/he is correct; however; s/he continues moving the Sherlock card around the circle in the same fashion. If the Sherlock card lands at a card that is already face up; the player takes that card and her/his turn is over. A new card is turned over from the draw pile; everyone takes a moment to memorize it; all cards in the circle are turned over; and play resumes with the next player beginning their turn.
The first player to collect 6 cards wins.
