Editing Scotland Yard (board game) (section)

==Alternative versions==
The game has been adapted to take place on maps of different cities. ''Scotland Yard Tokyo'', also distributed by [[Ravensburger]] is set on the streets of [[Tokyo]]; the major difference is game aesthetics. ''Scotland Yard: Swiss Edition'' uses the same gameplay and is set in Switzerland, with the addition of more boat routes and ski areas available only to Mr. X.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/100881/scotland-yard-swiss-edition|title=Scotland Yard Swiss Edition - Board Game - BoardGameGeek|work=boardgamegeek.com}}</ref>

''NY Chase'' is a version based on [[New York City]]. In this version, detectives do not hand their used tokens over, and they have access to roadblocks and a helicopter, tilting the game more in favour of those playing as detectives.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/534/ny-chase|title=N.Y.

A faster travel version called ''Die Jagd Nach Mister X'' exists that functions quite differently. In this version, Mr. X's location is only hidden when a black travel token is used, and the game is essentially an open chase around London. Evasion is accomplished with black tokens and using the fastest travel to distant locations. In this version, each player takes turns as Mr. X, and points collected (in the form of the detectives' used travel tokens) determine the overall winner.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/94837/scotland-yard-die-jagd-nach-mister-x|title=Scotland Yard: Die Jagd nach Mister X - Board Game - BoardGameGeek|work=boardgamegeek.com}}</ref>
