Product Review
Clue has been a fiendishly clever board game for almost 60 years, and this DVD edition adds a whole new level of enjoyment to the deductive fun. Experienced Clue-doers will recognize the floor plan layout of the game board, as well as the cards and character pieces. What they might not recognize this time is the crime: The game's central intrigue has been downgraded from murder to a more family-friendly larceny. It's up to players to figure out which of Mr. Boddy's guests is the thief, which item was stolen, as well as the time and location of the theft. The enclosed DVD serves as game master, with animated butler and inspector characters prompting you with questions and/or doling out clues. It may seem like a gimmick at first, but there are several smart ways in which the DVD makes set-up a snap and games both fair and interesting.

Aside from the bells and whistles, this is Clue. The object of the game is to gather clues without giving away too much information to the other players. Once you feel you've adequately sussed out the case, you can test your theory in secrecy through the DVD menu and the special decoder lens. If you're correct, you'll get a satisfying detective show round-up of how all the clues work together to eliminate all of the other possibilities. If you're wrong, you're going to have to show some of your info to the other players. There are ten different mysteries built into the game plus a general game that is more like the traditional Clue board game. It comes with game cards, decoder magnifying glass, DVD disc, game board, four plastic locks, case file envelope, and 10 suspect pawns. --Porter B. Hall

Reader Reviews
I collect clue games, and have several of the UK releases also. I was excited to see another edition of Clue being released, and when Santa didn't bring it, I ordered it for my family. We played it for the first time tonight and first of all, the age range says 10+, now I have a very advanced nephew but I cannot even imagine him grasping this game. The 3 adults who did play this game had trouble figuring out the rules. The 10 cases, are ALWAYS THE SAME, ie when you have played all 10 cases, there is no point playing them again, leaving only general play. Will they release more DVD's for this game and at what cost to us, who already spent nearly $40 for it in the first place. The rule book was very vague, to say the least. We ended up just showing all our cards to each other to finally figure it out. The clues given by the butler are slightly obscure, but we have learned after the first case that you must LISTEN CLOSELY, REPEAT, PAUSE, and WRITE IT ALL DOWN! From these clues you are "supposed" to deduct certain things and check off multiple items/locations/times/suspects. This the part that I don't think a 10 year old could grasp, when 3 intelligent adults couldn't. There is really not any point of even using the game board, w/the 10 cases you have very little interaction with the board. It doesn't make it clear when to move, what ends your turn, and w/3 players, after you run out of item cards from the butler, the board is useless. After the 1st case, they did explain how we were to have deduced the clues given by the butler and the inspector, which will help in solving future cases, but I'm not sure whey they didn't just give you an example on the DVD in the first place. We have not tried general play, but I did read it is just like playing regular clue, only you also have the DVD interaction. My suggestion, if you are a clue fanatic and collect the games, then buy it, although I'd check eBay for a cheaper price. If you do not have the patience to "wait" for the DVD to trigger an event and are used the old style play, don't waste your money. I'm not unhappy I bought it as I do collect them, but I wish I would have paid a lot less. Comment | Permalink | (Report this)
