Scotland Yard Needs YOU!Jul 21, 2008 "Clue"
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.
Quality family time and a nice break from the TV or Computer as well. You may be hearing from Scotland Yard soon...enjoy...and Thanks Parker Brothers for years of family fun!...Laurie

Clue-A Timeless Game of Murder.Jan 03, 2007 Clue is one of those special games that really capture your intrest. It is inventive, fun, and has that perfect atmosphere of trying to figure out who killed Mr. Xavier Boddy. What was he murdered with? And where? You get an assortment of colourful characters from the femme fatale, Miss Evelynne Scarlett, to the intellegent, yet absent-minded Prof. Benjamin Plum. The implements range from the exoticly deadly Dagger to the forbidding, grimy peice of Lead Piping. The rooms are elegant, a proper for a mansion like Boddy's. After all, every good mansion has a Conservatory, or Library, Ballroom, and even a Billiards Room. After a rousing go around, you carfully make your duductions that always create part of the fun.
Part of why this game is so successful is that it is simple to learn, and easy to catch on to, the premise is fascinating and it doesn't drag on for too, too long. It has a definitive end to it, which happens to be when you make a correct accusation. Hence, this is the fault of other games like Monopoly. It takes too long to reach the end of the game before you get bored and lose your intrest.
Now if you just want the game for fun, then any edition will do, but if your one who enjoys the artwork that is ever so present in Clue, then read further. Personally Hasbro has made a terrible step in creating the recent edition of Clue. The cubistic work is an intresting concept but is done in a terrible manner. The characters look bland, stereotypical, and unintresting, and the rooms and weapons are not only NOT cubist but have been recycled from previous editions. Hence if you want to get a game of Clue that has a much more appealing look, I advice to track down one of the older editions. There art in those versions are much less cartoonish, and stupid. The new versions of Clue, inclueding Clue FX, Clue Mysteries and the DVD game are a disgrace.
But art aside, Clue will always be a favourite of mine, and on a final note, it was Mrs. Peacock with the Revolver in the Study!

clue rulesDec 15, 2006 Me and friends play this for hours!! We always love finding out who did the murder. This is a good game for family gatherings, and when you're bored. This is a great holiday present. I would buy the new DVD one too. The only bad thing is little kids can't play because you have to know how to read and also you need at least 3 players to play. But overall it's a very good game. I don't recommend it for kids under 5.
