Cluedo

Cluedo is a challenging thinking game which I have enjoyed playing in the past however because you really need at least four players to make it interesting (it could be played with three) it is not a game I get to play very often. It is a murder mystery game where the winner is the person who correctly deduces three bits of information, who the murderer is, wha weapon was used and in what room the murder was committed. The game board is set out as a series or rooms and each player will play as one of the potential killers with such character names as Miss Scarlatt or Professor Plum.

When I was a girl mom and dad bought me the board game Cluedo and I loved it! I have never tried to describe a board game before so here goes. The game is made by Hasbro and is recommended for children of aged 8 and over. Dr Black has been murdered and the basic premise of the game is to discover who murdered him, where they did it and with what.

Between the rooms are corridors divided into spaces for the movement of pieces ...  Read the complete review

So famous is this classic board game that there have been video games made from it, a TV game show and even a funny little film known as Clue. I'm sure many people own this game and it's probably one of those board games you've left gathering dust on your shelf. I doubt many people play it nowadays.
