Clue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a Clue collector, I was delighted to see a new game coming to the market.Too bad it turned out the way it did.While the classic Clue editions each had their charms, this game merely feels like an annoying high school kid dying to be popular.The idea of making a modern edition of the classic game is admirable.But the people at Hasbro tried way too hard.

Making Mustard a football player?Mrs. White being a child star?The designer of this game spent too much time watching reality tv.With weapons like a dumbbell and an Oscar trophy, this edition is very obviously trying to cater to all those Hollywood stereotypes.Perhaps the strangest improvement is that each suspect now has a special power that can be used once during a game.In my opinion, it does not truly improve game play.

As for the pieces themselves... the weapons are very nicely made of solid metal.The pawns are simply plastic rectangles with a "?" displayed in the middle and a colored base.They look very cheap.But the cards are the most disappointing aspect of the whole game.While using real pictures for suspects isn't a bad idea, taking pictures that look like they came from a bad retail catalog does.Mrs. White's picture is especially bad.She looks like she has an itch on her nose.

Overall, the game is durable, but only because you won't want to play it much.I gave it some educational value because, like the original Clue, people do learn to think more strategically by using deducting skills.As for the story and game play... I would recommend sticking to the classic clue games.
