Clue Junior: The Case of the Broken Toy (2018)

About this game

It's the case of the broken toy in this "whodunit" game for kids. In this Clue Junior game, players are on a mission to discover which toy was broken, who broke it, and what time it was broken. Players roll the die to see if they can move their character, look under other character pawns, or peek under furniture tokens for clues. Kids can play detective, marking the detective notepad as they find clues, eliminate choices, and eventually solve the mystery. The game features classic Clue characters: Miss Scarlett, Col. Mustard, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Prof. Plum, and Dr. Orchid. Time for an accusation? Go for it! A correct accusation wins the game. Includes gameboard, 6 character pawns, 6 furniture tokens, 7 white bases, 7 yellow bases, detective notepad, die, label sheet, and instructions.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
