In Scotland Yard, one of the players takes on the role of Mr. X. Their job is to move from point to point around the map of London taking taxis, buses or subways. The detectives – that is, the remaining players acting in concert – move around similarly in an effort to move into the same space as Mr. X. But while the criminal's mode of transportation is nearly always known, their exact location is known only intermittently throughout the game.

Scotland Yard: 40 Jahre Jubiläumsedition features a cult retro design and includes an adventure book in which the reader decides how the story continues. Can the young detectives catch Mister X?
