Toys and Games Reviews of Clue
Customer Review: Didn't get what I thought I was getting.
Summary: 3 Stars
I have played Clue since I was a child and I bought this product for my grandson. He had played it and liked it. I have an old game and I was buying him his own. Mine has the regular colored pieces to move representing Miss Scarlett, Col Mustard, etc... From the picture of the product,the play pieces of Miss Scarlett, Col Mustard, etc. should have been little statues which looked like the actual people. I was very disappointed when he opened the game and I saw cheap plastic play pieces. The old ones in my set would have been better. The pictures of the games are deceptive. You don't get what you think. I could have gone to Wal-Mart and only paid $10.00. This game cost almost 3 times that. Disappointed.Customer Review: One of the best of the popular family games ever made!
Summary: 5 Stars
Play is reasonable with 3 people but much better with 4 to 6. The board and cards add to a fanciful atmosphere, but underneath the window dressing this is a thinking person's game.This is a game of *logic*, and it's pretty sophisticated. I cannot believe that people are rating this game below 5 stars on educational value! There are many levels of inference possible; I have been playing for almost 30 years and I'm not convinced that I play perfectly, much less bored with it. You can often deduce the most on other people's turns, sometimes more than the player whose turn it is, which is a very nice contrast to some strategy games in which only one person at a time has any real involvement.
Customer Review: The Perfect Game
Summary: 5 Stars
What Do You Mean You've Never Played???If you could buy only one game for your game shelf, this would be the one to buy. Clue is, deservedly, a classic. One can appreciate the game on so many different levels, and it is challenging enough for adults, and fun enough for(the slightly older) kids. The perfect family game. Hasbro and USAopoly have recently released "Simpsons CLUE", "Alfred Hitchcock CLUE", "Dungeons and Dragons CLUE" etc.,and they are just as wonderful as the original game -- with the added bonus of being "collectable".
I am a member of several CLUE clubs and internet discussion lists (on YahooGroups), and the charm never lags. Ever.
Customer Review: All the fun of an Agatha Christie for 3-6 players!
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since I first played this and saw the movie, I've been hooked, and so will you! Mr. Boddy has been found dead at the foot of the cellar stairs, and it's up to you to solve his murder! Who killed him? With which weapon? In which of Boddy Mansion's 9 rooms? 3-6 players compete to solve the mystery by making suggestions and proving other player's guesses wrong. With more players comes more of a challenge, but that's part of the fun! Was it the wealthy widow, Mrs. Peacock? Or the confused Professor Plum? The solution changes every time. And if you're smart, you'll solve it first! You might even sharpen those deductive skills a little. A definate must for family game nights!Customer Review: The classic is still a ton of fun
Summary: 5 Stars
After the huge pile of boxes under the tree had been opened yesterday, this one was the hands-down hit with my daughter. We played round after round after Christmas dinner was finished, remembering how much fun we had playing Clue when we were kids. Nothing about the game has changed in the last thirty years, except maybe Mrs. Peacock's hairstyle on the box cover. Older kids (9+ or so) can play with adults with no serious disadvantage. I rated the educational value as 5 stars because the game is based on deductive reasoning; kids learn to test a hypothesis with the suggestion/alibi format. This is a classic that belongs in your game closet, pronto.
