I played it four times with a couple and another gentlemen at Gen Con, without investigator cards. We found that by the 4th game, I found that if I just pointed to someones card and said the color, and it was the only color investigation out there, they got the hint to play that card. In the end it felt kind of monotonous.

In reply to Anim.

I think it plays very different than The Grizzled (I actually own both). You can ready our review of The Grizzled here: http://www.boardgamequest.com/the-grizzled-review/

I’d say that Beyond Baker Street plays better at two than The Grizzled (without the expansion). The Grizzled is definitely more challenging.

The primary difference though is that in BBS your hand is facing out, so you don’t know what’s it, while in The Grizzled, you have total control over your hand.

Both require lots of teamwork if you hope to win.

Great review!
How would you compare this to THE GRIZZLED? Looking to play primarily as a 2p but option to scale is great. and was trying to pick between these 2 games ( i hear the Grizzled exp makes 2p better than just the base set?)

thnx
