## Description
In 'Sherlock: Propagation', you and your team of investigators are called to unravel a mysterious fire in an important laboratory in Oslo. What really happened? Why did the fire start? And, most importantly, can you prevent something even worse from spreading? This is a cooperative deduction game where players work together to solve an intriguing case, using a deck of 32 clue cards. Each round, a player reveals a clue from their hand, placing it on the table for everyone to analyze. The big challenge is that communication is limited: you can discuss theories and talk about the cards you have in your hand, but you can only read aloud words in bold or text framed within an image. If a revealed clue is irrelevant to the case, you lose points at the end, but be careful: some clues are crucial! The goal is to use the available information to form a cohesive theory about what happened. At the end, after all cards have been revealed or discarded, the team discusses freely, including discarded cards and remembered information, and answers a questionnaire. Each correct answer earns points, so the accuracy of your deduction is fundamental to success.
