Customer Review: Clue Express - A Fun Mini Version Of The Classic Game - Makes A Great Gift!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Clue Express is a mini travel edition of the classic Clue game. It's a very fun game at a good price. Having recently discovered these express versions from Hasbro, you can bet that I am going to put these to good use as stocking stuffers for the holidays. Scrabble Express was the first one I purchased before getting this Clue version, among others. When it comes to the best bang for your buck, it's hard to find a better value in games.
While I am a big fan of the SceneIt? Travel editions, such as Scene It? Movie Travel DVD Game, the good thing about these Express versions is that you don't need a portable DVD player or other tools in order to play them. On the flip side, you really cannot play this game alone. So while it's useful for a family or group on a road trip, it's perhaps not as ideal for a solo traveler.
The game is designed to allow you to play one of two shorter versions of Clue within 20 minutes. Game play for both versions is pretty simple. Pick some cards, roll the dice, and work your way around till you find the culprits. Even though this isn't a trivia game, I think that the critical thinking of piecing together the clues does have some educational value.
The included cards and dice are all you need to play and they come in a convenient travel container. I am personally not crazy about the durability of the game case. While it's made from a strong plastic, it's still plastic. It may not be as durable as perhaps the folio used with certain travel games like Yahtzee Folio.
The only real requirement is that you need somebody to play with. That and 15 to 20 minutes and you've got a game. This is one "express" version that fans of the classic game should have no problem enjoying.
I highly recommend this as a gift or a travel game for those family road trips.
Enjoy!!!
