Clue (2013)

About this game

Traditional Clue board game with modernized graphics in the "Mansion" board and a boardwalk/beach scene on the opposite side of the board. Gameplay has been updated as well with the "Boardwalk" scene incorporating 3 red cards which are placed in assigned spots on the board for players to obtain. These cards allow special plays: 1. Take a card from each player, mark it on your clue sheet, and return to players. 2. Choose a player who must secretly show you two cards. 3. For the rest of the game, you may ask one additional question every time you ask a CLUE question. The 2013 version also places 3 cards face up for all players to see at the beginning of the game in 4 and 6 player games.

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.
