    Included are:
    Case Book -- a 24-page book containing the rules, daily briefings for each of the five days of the case, questions, solutions, and answers.
    Clue Book -- 143 numbered clues and the clue point listing.
    Newspaper Archive and Post Card -- a collection of loose newspapers from both The Times and Le Figaro which provide clues and information pertaining to the cases as well as general Victoriana.
    11" x 17" Map of Paris, circa 1889.
    From the back of the box:
    The game is afoot once again in Holme's London and Paris as this adventure takes you, as a Baker Street Irregular, across the English Channel.  Join Wiggins as you interview clients, interrogate suspects, search the newspapers for clues, and prowl the streets of London and Paris as you try to piece together the facts and reach a solution.
    As the events unfold, day by day, can you clear Anny Forster of the charges against her?  Where are Amelie Thacker’s porcelain birds?  What is Mycroft’s role in this affair?  These are only a few of the mysteries that will challenge your deductive reasoning as you spend a few days in May of 1889 trying to solve the Adventures by Gaslight.
    Like all games in the Consulting Detective series, Adventures by Gaslight is not a board game.  No dice, no luck, but a challenge to your mental ability.  The game has beeen thoroughly researched for Holmesian and Victorian accuracy to capture a feeling of that bygone era.

    Expert Shipping!!!  I am a very careful shipper.
    Prior to eBaying I have shipped thousands of items commercially.  Before shipping my first eBay item, I received coaching from an extremely experienced eBay seller.  There have been no reports of a packing problem with any of my eBay shipments and my feedback frequently compliments my attention to shipping.

    Your mailing address and a statement of how you intend to pay needs to be included in the e-mail.
    Funds are due within 10 days from the ending date of the auction.
    Auction win may be cancelled and the item relisted if these requirements are not met.
    Within the U.S. for this item I charge
    actual shipping plus a .00 handling fee.
    I will combine items for shipping charging only for actual shipping, plus the highest handling fee cited in the listings for the items purchased, plus a .00 fee for each item after the first.

    For international shipping, books and similar purchases can be shipped by via First Class Mail International (FCMI) which is generally cheaper than Priority Mail International (PMI).  Both methods are INSURED.  The handling fee for shipping is for FCMI or for PMI.
    Buyers choosing to ship PMI will be charged a handling fee, but will be refunded upon shipping.  For multiple purchases, items will be combined to lower shipping costs.  Buyers will be charged actual shipping, plus the highest handling fee cited in the listings for the items purchased, plus a fee for each purchase after the first.
    If Picture Perfect Comics determines the Buyer's address is not suitable for FCMI service, the Buyer agrees to cancel this transaction without leaving feedback if he does not choose to pay for PMI service.

    Bidding is an agreement to accept the item as pictured and described.
    Any differences between actual shipping\handling costs and those calculated by eBay's software will be decided by the terms of this listing.  Shipping overpayments of less than .00 will not be refunded unless requested by the buyer.
    A note with payment or an email at any point will suffice.  Buyers have made it clear that tiny refunds are unwanted.
    If you have questions, please email prior to bidding.  Having asked my share of questions, I encourage those with the bravery to send an email to do so.  Shipping quotes generally answered within 30 hours.
    Buyers with less than 10 feedback or even 0 feedback are quite welcome and DO NOT need prior approval.  I am happy to help newer eBayers with their questions.
