The classic detective game! A game for those who enjoy reasoning and thinking things out.
In Clue, players move from room to room in a mansion to solve the mystery of: who done it, with what, and where? Players are dealt character, weapon, and location cards after the top card from each card type is secretly placed in the confidential file in the middle of the board. Players must move to a room and then make a suggestion against a character saying they did it in that room with a specific weapon. The player to the left must show one of any cards mentioned if in that player's hand. Through deductive reasoning each player must figure out which character, weapon, and location are in the secret file. To do this, each player must uncover what cards are in other players hands by making more and more suggestions. Once a player knows what cards the other players are holding, they will know what cards are in the secret file, and then make an accusation. If correct, the player wins, but if incorrect, the player must return the cards to the file without revealing them and may no longer make suggestions or accusations.
Note: There are some early versions of Clue which are labeled as 2-6 players. Recent and current issues of the game state 3-6 players.

El clasico sospecha, con la familia mas divertida de la Tv..(parece comercial)
My family wont play this with me as I can usually get the right combination before anyone else is close buy taking notes on all communication at the table. One of my fav of the old school game, but role to move is horrible
Creo recordar que fue regalo de reyes de gema del 2002 o 2003. Hace años que no ve una mesa. No es exactamente el de la ficha de la bgg. El que tengo está publicado por Parker Brothers, de Hasbro. Me lo llevé a nuevo Parque el 12/09/2021 después de no jugarlo por más de 7 años. Edito el 29/08/2023: Se interesó por él una chica de wallapop, y lo metí en el maletero para quedar, pero al final no volví a tener noticias suyas y ahí sigue. Lleva meses. Lo acabé vendiendo por 7€ el 03/03/2024. Vivió sus últimos siete meses en el maletero del coche. La venta fue providencial. :) Se fue de mi ludo
Funny family game! i played when i was younger with my niece and her friends, lot of fun finding the guilty!
Era uno de los que siempre quería jugar de pequeño y nunca tenía con quién. Me gustó en su tiempo y me dio ratos de diversión.
3-4 J. (4 mejor). No tiene una vida muy larga este juego. En cuanto sabes cuál es la mejor estrategia para resolver el caso, todas las partidas son casi iguales.
Esp) Un buen juego de deducción para niñes. De chico jugaba a una edición Argentina del juego, editada por Ruibal, llamada Misterio. Un clásico!
