In Lady Alice, players are the kids on Baker Street who are trying to solve the kidnapping of explorer Stanley with Sherlock Holmes’s guidance. With that said, you’ll be unsurprised that Lady Alice is a deduction game.
A crime has been committed and there are 4 pieces of information (categories) to work out: Where, Who, When and What. There are 8 different possibilities (clues) in each of the 4 categories (and there’s a card for each of the 32 clues). In the middle of the table is a board which shows Sherlock Holmes’s desk where all of the clues are displayed. (I’ll describe how the game plays with 4 players as it’s the most straightforward.)
At the start of the game, one card from each of the 4 categories is randomly drawn face-down – these 4 cards are the solution to the crime which are shuffled up and each player is dealt one at random.
