    Can you and one friend play online? I ask this because it mentions 3 to 6 players...

    Great question. In the board game it's 3 people, one criminal and two other players (each controlling two yardies each)

    I've yet to connect to a match to see if theres an option to play as several yardies, but if someone wants to start a match so we can test it and async they can send me a mention on twitter

    I have sent you 2 invitations over GC but it seems to me that I have to stay and wait for your reply before starting. So I think the GC online is pretty much sync only.

    Yeah, great game to play with your significant other IF it allows only two human players in a game. If anyone finds out, please let me know. Thanks!

    I wonder of that means you cant do a 2-player game, or if multiplayer is having issues...

    Looking like its the multiplayer. When I start the game it asks to add players and it says 2-4 player so it should be fine with just us :/

    Just bought it and played it with my son. A nicely done family game that is a lot of fun...

    If you, by any chance, have the opportunity to have a look at the old Nintendo version of Scotland Yard, you'll see a great little overview map on the upper screen at any time with a white rectangle marking the section of the city map where you are at the moment on the lower touch(playing) screen. This and the clear color design of the 2D city map makes planning your escape route (or vice versa, your 'fishing net') really easy. I have to say, I prefer that one, despite all the neon glitz of the iPad.

    Played a few games with my friend online earlier. Worked well apart from the fact that in one game his app crashed. No resuming/async unfortunately.

    I'd like to know this too, since I am particularly interested in iPad games I can play with my SO on the same device.

    Yes. You can choose any number of opponents. Solo play, 2 - 5 human players or AI. you control the number of AI, so if you want to chase a human Mr X and have you on a team of computer AI, you can. If you want a 1 on 1, you can. 1 on 2, 1 on 3, etc. multiple level of difficulties, great deal for a fiver.
