Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: Jack the Ripper & West End Adventures review

I recently picked up Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: Jack the Ripper & West End Adventures, and I'm really enjoying it! It's a standalone expansion, so you don't need to have the original game to play, which is great for new players. The graphics are updated, and there are ten new cases to solve. The cases are well-written and challenging, but not overly difficult.

I especially like the Jack the Ripper cases. They're a bit more intense than the West End Adventures, but still very fun and intriguing. The West End Adventures are a little more lighthearted, but still offer a good challenge.

One thing that I really enjoy about this game is that it's very open-ended. You have to do a lot of reading and research to find the clues, and there's no one right way to solve a case. This makes it very replayable, as you can try different approaches each time.

Overall, I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. It's a great way to spend an evening with friends or family, and it's sure to keep you entertained for hours. The only thing I would say is that it's probably not the best game for beginners, as it can be a bit overwhelming. But for those who are already familiar with the game, or who are looking for a real challenge, this is a great choice.
