OK, I will create a game thread in my lunch break and make my first move after having calculated up to move 22 and considered all scenarios.

I'll play X if you want although I understand if you turn me down based on my previous terrible performances at this game! (having said that they were mostly as detective, don't think your X game is much better

)

I'm fine with that, also fine with just randing ourselves? Can easily self mod, if you want I can just send you my moves and you don't look at them til after the game (or trust me to note them and not cheat ldo)

is the one I bought and have here but yeah don't know where they sum up the rules online. We've just been playing the same rules as on 2p2 but didn't know about the start squares thing so just did what they have in the rule book. No clue if it makes it more balanced or not (you can put your lizard brain on it at some point I'm sure, squares are as I listed before)

I'm still waiting for someone to play me again, though my activity will be spotty for the next few days.

If you could place 5 detectives anywhere on the board at the end of turn 2 (turn 3 Mr. X reveals for the first time), where would you put them?

Off the top of my head, I'd do something like 142, 89, 102, 153, 79

I am a big fan of 102 and 89 as well

Not sold on 79, imo 111 > 79

I like 142, but I like 128 a lot as well

I think I would choose

Who wants to try and elude me?

I am currently 3/3 as detective, but I could have lost either one of those games fairly easily.

Feel free to propose a change to increase Mr. X equity.

I'd like to try a game with 4 detectives. Perhaps allowing the detectives to move in any order, start with an additional taxi ticket, and give Mr X only 4 black tickets.

To improve economy I was thinking to give the detectives the ability to exchange a ticket for another one of their choice.

The real problem in the ticket economy are the undergrounds - sometimes in endgame you lack them, sometimes you cannot get rid of them. There are usually plenty of opportunities to adjust taxi/bus ratio.

How about 4 detectives, move in any order, 2 ticket exchanges (per game, not per detective)?
