I don't mean to be rude, but it's Reverend Green not Mr :)

Ah, but they're asking for Clue characters, not Cluedo characters. In the American version, he's Mr. Green.

Always loved Clue, the books as a kid, the board game, and the movie with Tim Curry is classic!

There's also the character of Dr Black, the victim. I think he's called Mr Boddy in the American version, though.

Yeah, it's a pun.

Also, I've seen an American version(I know cause it's called Clue)with the Reverend John Green, and backstory for everyone. How many of you knew Mrs Peacock was Miss Josephine Scarlet's mother?

It's a really awful game. Why did board games used to be fixated with the roll and move mechanic? It's terrible game design. And the deduction element in Cluedo is too boring to make up for it

It's an old game that people of all ages enjoy to this day. What a fatuous comment.

Ok, let me try to be a bit more constructive - off the top of my head, better alternatives to Cluedo: Incognito, Deception: Murder in Hong Kong or Hanabi.

For something a bit different but still with a strong "deductive" element (the word deductive is often used incorrectly), try something like Love Letter, Coup or Codenames, a traitor game such as Resistance or Spyfall, or for something more story driven maybe Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective or Chronicles of Crime.

So yes, of course it is an opinion rather than an objective fact but of the - literally - thousands of tabletop deduction games available (or at least that have been available in the last 20 years) Cluedo is a really bad one.

It's a game designed for kids. We all remember it because we were kids when we played it. Or else we have kids and play it with them. I know of no grown adults who play this game without kids. That doesn't make it a bad game - it is a relatively simple game which develops reasoning and observational skills. For kids.

Agree generally with roley that it is a very poorly designed and boring game. Most serious gamers would agree. But if the only other things you'd played were Monopoly, Chutes and Ladders, Life, Battleship, Sorry!, and other popular but terrible games like these then it's not that bad.

Not that serious gamers should be the measure of anything.

It's not about how perfectly designed the game is. It's about having fun with friends and family.

Remster: except the measure of how good a game is.

Sagaris: of course. And by that measure, if your friends and family are able to discern the difference between good and bad games, then it's a bad one that will not provide much fun for said friends and family. If you're just looking for an excuse to force everyone to sit around a table together for an hour, somewhat mindlessly tossing die, and you've got nothing else, then, well, whatever. Though I actually could teach you superior games you could play like this without any boards, cards, or pieces at all. And most people who would enjoy playing games like those named above are also the sort of people that, in adulthood, would just as soon sit drinking beer and not playing anything. So I'm not sure who your suggestion is even for unless your friends and/or family includes small children.

Whether or not the game is "bad" or "good" is a matter of opinion. Me and my family love playing the game because we think it's fun. Actually the game is good for teaching kids logic and deduction. It teaches them how to study what they know and deduce other facts based on connecting the clues together.

I can't think of anything worse than spending an evening with a group of "serious gamers." Maybe spending an afternoon with a casual proctologist, but serious gamers are a close second.

Man, you can dislike a well-known game without being a "serious gamer". Why does wanting to play games that have something going for them make you this phantom person that hates fun and never laughs

Haha I was confused when 'left luggage' and 'waiting room' weren't accepted then realised that the version I grew up with (set in a train station) isn't the original version! Also confused when there was no 'blunderbuss' haha!

We took 2 of the extra cards with information on them, instead of characters, weapons or rooms and added our own artwork and turned them into another weapon (poison) and suspect (suicide). Then if we had 4 or 5 people playing, we'd add them, remove the 3 solution cards, and all players would be dealt the same number of cards. Made for some pretty interesting solutions....Mr. Body committed Suicide, in the Lounge, with the Candlestick. :-P

I was at a party where they had a Clue game based on Warren Zevon song lyrics. It was hilarious. Turned out Charlie Sheen did it in the Opal Mine with a Sore Cock. The graphics that went with this game were stunning. The person that made this up must've had a lot of fun in the preparation.

But it accepts 'spanner', generally used in the UK for 'wrench'. If it's a different word being used for the same thing it's only fair to accept it.
