Clue Game


There's foul play amidst in the mansion.The owner, Mr. Boddy is the victim. It's your job to figure out who, where and how. "Clue" is a great game of deduction that the whole family can enjoy together. There are six suspects and weapons, and nine rooms that the job may have been pulled off in. Suspect everybody, but accuse no one until you are sure.Players travel from room to room on the board, make their guesses and rule out the innocent. If you are the first to narrow it down to one suspect, one weapon and one room...YOU WIN!.
The playing pieces consist of all the usual suspects and you know who they are by their color..Miss Scarlett(I always have to be her or I take my board and go home), Col. Mustard, Prof Plum, etc. The murder weapon could be a rope, a lead pipe or maybe even a revolver. The room could be anything from the "Conservatory" to the "Billards Room",and you must be in a room before you can even make a "suggestion" as to who, where and how. Sometimes it takes a little manuevering to get into a room, but like all worthy mansions, sometimes you can just go through the secret passage!
Each suspect, weapon and room are pictured on playing cards. One from each stack is secretly placed in the "case file" at the beginning of the game and the rest of the cards mixed together and passed out. Beginning with your own cards, start eliminating on your very own detective pad. After making your suggestion,another player will show you one of their cards if your suggestion is wrong. Be careful, some people can be pretty cunning in the choice they make!
The age range suggested to play is from 8 to adult, but even younger can play. Young kids can team up with mom, dad or big brother and share their secret clues. The game is for 3 to 6 players. The more players the harder it is(as each person is given fewer cards to start with).I have had my edition for well over 20 years and I can attest to it's durablity. The box is a little frayed, and the cards somewhat worn, but this game has seen alot of use over the years and has held up really well.One thing we have done, is just to make copies of the unused detective pads, so we have never had to order any more. And oh yeah..if the dog eats one of the little weapons(ehem..)just use a paper clip or something like that in it's place. But remember the playing pieces are small and young children should be supervised with them.
The game is so much fun, that the kids won't even realize what a good work out their mind is getting as the make their own deductions! I have certainly got my money's worth from this game, it is a favorite of mine to give as a birthday or christmans present, and has always been appreciated --Writed by L. Shirley "Laurie's Boomer Views"
