The game was updated with slightly different rules and equipment in 2013. The 2013 Ravensburger and 1985 Milton Bradley editions vary slightly in the number of transportation tickets, double-move, and starting position cards included, as noted. In the Milton Bradley version, there are 18 starting position cards, shared by both the detectives and Mr. X. In the 2013 edition, the 29 start cards are split into two separate pools, one for Mr. X and another for the detectives.

In a game with five or fewer players, up to two of the pawns meant to represent the detectives may instead be designated as "[[Law enforcement in the United Kingdom|bobbies]]", indicated by placing a circular ring on them. Bobbies can move freely throughout the city without using tickets; during the detectives' turn, they decide by consensus whether and where to move each one.<ref name=Ravensburger-13/>

The main game board also varies slightly between the [[Milton_Bradley_Company|Milton Bradley]] (1985) and [[Ravensburger]] editions. The primary difference between these is in the numbering of the stations: five stations are numbered differently, with 108 missing from the Milton Bradley boards<ref name=MB-1985-board>{{cite web |url=https://boardgamegeek.com/image/3057743/scotland-yard |title=Scotland Yard board |year=1985 |publisher=Milton Bradley |access-date=7 October 2023}}</ref> and 200 missing from the Ravensburger boards.<ref name=Rav-1983-board>{{cite web |url=https://boardgamegeek.com/image/2581369/scotland-yard |title=Scotland Yard Board |year=1983 |publisher=Ravensburger |access-date=7 October 2023}}</ref><ref name=Rav-2003-board>{{cite web |url=https://boardgamegeek.com/image/159872/scotland-yard |title=Scotland Yard Board |year=2003 |publisher=Ravensburger |access-date=7 October 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/77052/starting-places|title=Starting Places - Scotland Yard - BoardGameGeek|work=boardgamegeek.com}}</ref> Aside from the numbering differences, some of the routes have been revised since the initial publication. For instance, stations 198 and 199 are connected by a bus line in earlier boards,<ref name=Rav-1983-board/><ref name=MB-1985-board/> which is changed to a taxi line,<ref name=Rav-2003-board/> and the taxi line between stations 13 and 14 in early boards<ref name=Rav-1983-board/><ref name=MB-1985-board/> was later removed.<ref name=Rav-2003-board/>
