Both Mister X and the detectives have the opportunity to swap some of their "tickets" which are otherwise used for travel to a specific transport (car, train, ferry, or airplane) against 'special actions'. So Mr. X, for example, twice draw and the Detectives can in turn be as "Joker" Show track down the fugitives.
I have to say, because you can come pretty scratching their heads on both sides. But the moment when you come as a detective because of presumption estimate of the enemy and logical considerations to track and hence Mr. X can truly isolate is exciting and can be a really nice sense of achievement. Andersrum it's really fun, groping in the dark to see the detectives, if you have managed to be with clever and unexpected trains on tracks and trails.
What has already been noted in other reviews, is not, in my view: The card number of detectives in the "2 Player Mode" is unbalanced, it should be 10 instead of 9 tickets. I think that's not particularly bad, the mature person, it should not be difficult to adapt the. And by the way: If you want to test, or brush up on his geography skills - each of the 199 places on the board corresponds to a "real" city in Europe - as the name would probably not always fit on the board, the place names are printed on the carton.
What I incidentally also really good like as opposed to Scotland Yard, is the fact that Mr. X now has a definite objective, and must not simply save over time. I can highly recommend the game to anyone who likes to think a little bit and have some fun at the Combine.
