More About Scotland Yard1985: One player is Mr. X, a wanted criminal. The other players are police officers attempting to capture Mr. X. The game is played on a map of Scotland, with three methods of transportation: taxi, bus and subway. Mr. X's whereabouts are generally hidden, although he must show himself at several times during the game. If he eludes capture, Mr. X wins; otherwise, the police win as a team.
