Description
Six guests arrive for dinner at the family home of Mr. Black. He reveals his blackmail plan to them, and soon afterwards he is found dead. In Cluedo you are a detective and have to find out who killed Mr. Black, where and with which weapon. The suspects are Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Mayor Green, Chef White, Solicitor Peacock and Professor Plum - in the Slovenian edition gospodična Škrlatič, polkovnik Gorčičnik, župan Zelenček, chefinja Belec, zastopnica Pavlin and profesor Slivnik.
How to play Cluedo
At the start, you secretly take one card each from the piles of character, weapon and room cards and put them in the solution envelope. The other cards are dealt out to the players. Whatever is in your hand you cross off on your sheet, since it can't be in the envelope.
On your turn you roll the two dice and move around the house. When you enter a room, you make a suggestion: who, with what, in this room. The player on your left secretly shows you one of the named cards if they have it, otherwise it passes to the next player. If the magnifying glass comes up on a die, you draw a clue card and do what it says. When you think you know the solution, you make an accusation, but only once per game. If you're right, you win. If not, you're out of the game, but you keep showing your cards.
Why you'll love it
- Every suggestion can reveal something to you, and you can learn a lot from the suggestions of others too.
- A suggestion moves a suspect's figure into your room, which can upset the plans of the others.
- Clue cards bring surprises and can reveal a hidden card.
- The solution is different every game, so every case is new.
Who is Cluedo for
The game is for 2 to 6 players aged 8 and up, and a game takes about 45 minutes. It is easy, and players like it best with four or five. For two players the rules have a special variant in which you place four cards in the rooms. Cluedo suits families and anyone who likes solving detective puzzles. This is the Slovenian edition.
For travelling, the shop also has the smaller Cluedo Grab & Go.
What you might not like
Your path around the house depends on the dice, and sometimes you wait a while to reach a room, so it may not suit those who prefer deduction games without dice.
