Clue Mysteries Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Clue Mysteries is almost Guess Who meets Clue. Players walk around the board visiting the police office, Mr. Boddy's Tudor Mansion, and the residences of the the six original Clue suspects, all to determine the culprit of a crime. The eight locations on the board provide a clue as to the guilty party and his or her whereabouts. The suspects provide hints such as the guilty person wears glasses, or has gray hair, and you use these clues to narrow down your list of possible culprits. One twist is that one of the suspects could by lying.
Overall, this game plays much differently than the original Clue. The setup involves setting each suspect's "residence" to the correct clue for this game--a process that is guided by the playbook that comes with the game. Then a brief introduction to the mystery is read, and the game begins. The players only really need to deduce who is guilty, since landing on Tudor mansion in any given turn gives away the whereabouts of the culprit. Every roll of the die results in either a visit to one of the eight main spots on the board, or the drawing of a card that usually lets you visit one of the eight main spots on the board. The game moves much more quickly than Clue or Clue FX, but mostly because it's so easy to win.
In the end, this game is much simpler and less challenging than other Clue games. Add in the fact that there are only fifty mysteries total, and you drastically reduce the replay value of the game. It's an interesting spin on a classic, but the classic proves to be more entertaining.

Clue FX Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a huge clue fan I felt that I had to buy this because it had a talking gameboard. I was shocked when I opened it to find that it is practically nothing like the original clue. It has suspects, locations and weapons on cards still, but there is no dice and you have to "interview" all of the suspects (you look in their envelope which has a card in it...it's hard to explain). Since me and my college friends have nothing better to do we've played it almost every night since we got it. Its a really fun game if you go into it thinking that you are not really playing clue, and you are just playing some new game. But in the end, we have played at least 3 games every night, sometimes staying up until 4am.
It's really fun but DONT THROW AWAY YOUR REGULAR CLUE!!
(ps. one really negative thing is that since you aren't a suspect and you are a detective, there is a max of 4 players. One plus this that now you can play clue with 2 players.)

Remember trying to figure out who killed whom, with what and where? Now it's time to solve a new crime. The game of Clue has just entered a whole new generation. Clue FX has an amazing, electronic game board that "talks" to you while you solve mysteries. Plus, it's loaded with even more characters, rooms, weapons and better clues. Requires 2 "AA" alkaline batteries (not included).
