The cards are colour coded to make the game easier to learn. However, this doesn’t always help. At the bottom of the cards, a selection of coloured boxes is shown to indicate which cards players can play. If you see a blue box, you assume you can play any transport card. Wrong! Depending on which location you’re in depends on the method you can use. The colour coding doesn’t tell you all this, which can cause confusion and arguments with the rule book. It’s a nifty idea to colour code the cards but just remember to read the small print.
NEW CHARACTERS – Meet Marie Stahlbaum, a happy girl who believes in miracles, and Godfather Drosselmeyer, a storyteller who believes that magic can touch even the hardest of hearts. As you may have gathered, there are a lot of cards that all do a lot of different things. It can be confusing to teach to new players as they get overwhelmed with each nuance. However, the game does come with 4 handy reference guides. Although reading these can slow down an otherwise pacy game. The SCOTLAND YARD rule is identical in all versions. Calling "SCOTLAND YARD" directs the players to pass three cards to the player on his left. It can also be called two times in a row.NEW STAHLBAUM CHRISTMAS PARTY SCENE – Find hidden objects or match gems in a row in a colorful location. Think you’ve got what it takes to be a master detective? Try your hand in the art of deduction in a race against your friends to solve one of 75 thrilling mysteries in this family friendly board game! This process is repeated at the end of each round. With 108 cards, it can be quite a handful! It is by no means the longest setup for a game but because you have to do it 6 times it does feel like you’re shuffling for ages. ADVENT CALENDAR – Christmas is around the corner, and it's time to start the countdown! Travel into your favorite books and investigate scenes every day to find out which magical gifts are hidden in the Advent Calendar! Finally, at the very end of the original RULES sheet Parker Brothers notes their location at the Varied Industries Bldg, at the World's Fair in St. Louis. This information is missing from the IMPROVED EDITION's pamphlet.

The final Quote– The epilogue of almost every story often contains a gnome or quotation from some standard author. As you go round the table and play cards, you’re trying to make sure you come out with the lowest score. This means you want to play cards which have the highest score or catch the villain. If a player successfully arrests a villain, they will get the villain’s score deducted from their points and the villain will have this score added to their total. Alternatively, if the villain escapes, they will get this score deducted.
