Customer Review: Great Classic Game!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this game long time ago but unfortunately all my friends were busy until X'mas. There were 5 of us and once we started playing, we were all addicted! I have heard from some other friends commented Clue was a boring game, but we all found it fun and challenging! Apart from strict logic thinking, the keys to win were to ask the right question and make a good, well organised notes! Last time we played we had 5 players, so some of us got 4 cards in hand and some got only 3 in hands. That was a bit unfair because the players with 4 cards had more clues in the beginning and so their chances of winning were higher. So we tried in one game to open 3 cards on the table, the game was finished a lot more quickly. But we all found that it was less challenging.
Overall, great game!! Train you brain in logic thinking as much as Sudoku and Mastermind.
Customer Review: The Classic Game for Mystery Lovers of All Ages
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Boddy has been murdered somewhere in his mansion. Fortunately, the suspects and weapons are still there, so it will be possible to solve the crime. Now you must help one of the suspects search for clues to figure out what really happened. You never know, you might have done it as well.I've loved this game since I was a kid. The challenge of trying to solve the mystery before your opponents is wonderful fun. And I'm a sucker for a good mystery. Since the game changes every time you play, it never gets boring. The game can be as simple or complex as you let it, teaching logic and basic elimination in a fun setting.
This popular game has been around for years and shows no sign of dying, for good reason. All generations can gather round and play for hours of fun. Just be sure to watch out for Mrs. White with the rope in the billiard room.
Customer Review: Hard to find
Summary: 4 Stars
I had a hard time finding this game. The maker of the game (Hasbro?) has updated it, calling it Clue: Discover the Secrets, and changing some of the weapons and the rooms. I wanted the original, and I found it on Amazon through another vendor, who had the game listed at a lower price than Amazon. I soon found out why. The picture was of the original, but when I received it, they had sent the new version. When I contacted them, they said Amazon had made an error, errantly posting a picture of the original version when they only sold the new version. They accepted my return and Amazon refunded my money, and everyone I contacted was friendly and helpful. In the mean time, I ordered the original version through Amazon directly, and it arrived within a few days in good condition and as advertised - the original version.Customer Review: Fun and Flexible
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never played this until my daughter got one for her birthday. It is very addictive as you try to be the first to solve the crime correctly. My only complaint was that after three or four games it became very easy to figure out the clues by marking what you think the other players have on your card as well, so we added a twist where the three cards (room, person, weapon) are put in the envelope, but then we shuffle the remaining cards and pick one and add it to the envelope. This creates a scenario where there might be two people, two weapons or two rooms involved in the crime, which has made it more difficult to guess. While Clue is very enjoyable and fun to play, it would be great to have a more challenging version with perhaps a motive card.
This is a good game for kids to learn about strategy and deduction.
Customer Review: Mystery heaven for kids!
Summary: 5 Stars
With paper and pen in hand, we would cross off all the suspects as we knew they were no longer suspect. We did this in a most serious way, determined we would find out who the murderer was, who did it and what they used to do it. Sounds awful, but kids don't think of it that way.
Before the game starts, three cards are selected and put into a small paper envelope. Just make sure no one sees the cards. Then let the game begin and learn to look for clues, analyze the results of your choices and as soon as you think you have figured it out, you can look at the cards. If you are wrong, you are out of the game...so be really sure! I enjoyed this game until I was about 12. I play it now and then with my nieces.
