Sleuth is the timeless classic deduction game by legendary designer Sid Sackson. Players are searching for a missing gem, one of the 36 Gem cards which has been removed along with hidden before the start of the game.
The 35 remaining Gem cards are distributed among the Players, featuring extras publicly displayed. Using logic as well as deduction, along with cards from the Search deck, players question their opponents for evidence as they race to win by being the first to identify the missing gem.
Many editions of Sleuth have been produced over the past 50+ years since its first release in 1971. Eagle-Gryphon Games has taken a fresh approach to the art for this 2024 edition by commissioning Jake Seven, an American-born artist along with art instructor who lives as well as works in Hobart, Tasmania.
His art includes many public and private large-scale murals (see JakeSeven.com). About the art for Sleuth, Jake says: Tasmania s unique natural landscape is a confluence of complex geology, which has shaped its wide range of biodiversity.
Over hundreds of millions of years, Tasmania has been shaped, sculpted, as well as molded by sea levels rising as well as falling, leaving a myriad of mineral rock deposits, several large magmatic intrusions, and resulting eventually in the glacial formation of most of its many dramatic peaks as well as valleys. The colors of Tasmania are vibrant as well as diverse, rich in tone, and bold in presence.
The Gems represented in Sleuth are Agates, Topaz, along with Sapphires. They can all be found in Tasmania s diverse terrain, and they act as beacons of Tasmania s exciting as well as tumultuous geological history.
The box cover image and its gemstones display Tasmania s mysterious as well as complex natural history, eccentric ecology, radiant colors, along with dramatic environment. Vendor: Eagle Gryphon Games
