Scotland Yard is an exciting and strategic covert game of cat and mouse set on the bustling streets of London. In this thrilling chase, Mr. X, a criminal mastermind, has escaped from Scotland Yard and is on the run, trying to elude capture.

With a mix of strategy, deduction, and teamwork, players must use taxis, buses, and the underground system to corner and catch Mr. X before he disappears into the fog.
