Travel Clue (1990)

About this game

Travel Clue is a simplified version of the game Clue. Like Clue, the object of the game is to correctly accuse the suspect, weapon and room surrounding the death of Mr. Boddy. There are 21 square Clue tiles, each with a picture of one of the 9 rooms (blue), 6 suspects (yellow), or 6 weapons (red). The detective sheet lists these 21 items and has a 3x3 grid representing the small gameboard of 9 rooms. One of each color Clue tiles is set aside for the answer; the remaining are placed on the game board, 2 tiles in each room. Players take turns looking at the tiles in one room and asking another player if they had seen one of the clues. The winner is the first one to correctly identify the suspect, weapon, and room.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
