Clue
Who’ Where’ Which weapon’ For generations, around the world, Mr. Boddy has met his end at the hand of one of six infamous suspects in this family game. As you search the mansion’s nine rooms and secret passages, be on the lookout for those murderous suspects. And watch out for those deadly weapons. The mystery changes every time you play. If you can collect the right clues and make the right deductions, you’ll solve today’s mystery… and win. This edition features a completely redesigned game board and cards. For 3 to 6 players. Game includes: game board; six suspect tokens; six weapons; deck of suspect, weapon, and room cards; confidential case file; detective notebook pad and a die.Poor Mr. Boddy has been shockingly murdered in his own mansion. To win this game, you must become a roving detective, sniffing out the answers to the classic mystery questions: Who among Mr. Boddy’s guests committed the murder? What was the murder weapon? (Lead pipe? Wrench? Candlestick?) Where did the murder happen? (Library? Conservatory?) Because the answers change each time, the game is constantly challenging. A gameboard map of the mansion, detective notepad, deck of cards, one die, wandering playing pieces, and a healthy dose of intuition will help players be the first to figure out the answers. This edition of Clue is a departure from the old faces and mansion rooms that were beginning to look dated after all these years. Sultry Miss Scarlett looks like Lesley Ann Warren from the movie Clue. Mr. Green looks convincingly sinister, Mrs. Peacock snobbish and potentially cruel. Colonel Mustard is still Pompous, Professor Plum still clueless. Mrs. White, the grandmotherly maid, is downright spooky. –Gail Hudson

5 Stars great game
fun for adults and kids alike. i love playing with my husband and our friends. its always a good time when we bring out our clue game.
5 Stars Clue is always fun and entertainment at its best!
I still have the original Clue that all my children enjoyed. Now I bought this one for my grandchildren, who use it very often. Still the durability of this product and its attractive pieces are my garantee that probably they will keep their Clue just as I did!
5 Stars I LOVE THIS CLUE
If you want a fun Clue board game buy this one.Especially if you like mysteries.If you have a baby or a toddler that sticks anything into her or his mouth then play it when she or he is sleeping because the weapons are choking hazards. I am 10 years old and the game says 8 and up but I play with my 4 year old sister,my 5,8 and 7 year old cousins,they love it! Whenever they come thats what they want to play.I’ve had it for 5 or 4 years and still in good shape.But make sure you have 3 to 6 players.
4 Stars Hard to find
I had a hard time finding this game. The maker of the game (Hasbro?) has updated it, calling it Clue: Discover the Secrets, and changing some of the weapons and the rooms. I wanted the original, and I found it on Amazon through another vendor, who had the game listed at a lower price than Amazon. I soon found out why. The picture was of the original, but when I received it, they had sent the new version. When I contacted them, they said Amazon had made an error, errantly posting a picture of the original version when they only sold the new version. They accepted my return and Amazon refunded my money, and everyone I contacted was friendly and helpful. In the mean time, I ordered the original version through Amazon directly, and it arrived within a few days in good condition and as advertised - the original version.
3 Stars Didn’t get what I thought I was getting.
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.
