How to play Scotland Yard

What it is about

Inspired by the classic board game, Scotland Yard pits cops against robbers inside a circle of the city. The robbers try to survive until time runs out; the cops must locate and catch them first. There must be at least one cop and one robber.

How it works

The host sets the robbers' movement radius, how often their position is revealed, the capture radius and the available traps. Robbers cannot leave the circle: if they try, Street View returns them to the last valid point. Cops can place traps on the minimap.

Roles: Robber, Cop and Spectator.

Players 2 to 10 players (at least 1 cop and 1 robber).

Tips

• Robbers: keep moving; use the reveals to time when to relocate.
• Cops: split the zones of the circle instead of going all together.
• Use traps at busy crossings and intersections.
• Watch the timer: near the end, robbers should take fewer risks.
