Clue Jr.: The Case of the Missing Cake (2003)

About this game

A children's "Jr." version of the classic Clue game. Instead of discovering who killed "Mr. Boddy," players have to discover "Who ate the cake?" Players have to discover who ate the cake, what time the cake was eaten, and what drink, was eaten with the cake. The mechanics are also simplified for this children's version of Clue, but is still very similar to Clue.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
