Setup
Place the board and all character tokens on their named spaces even if you are playing with less than 6 players
then, choose your character
Place all the weapons in separate, random rooms
Shuffle the clue cards and leave them facedown near the board
Sort the other cards into 3 decks: characters, weapons and rooms
Take the top card from each deck and place them inside the file envelope
No one should see the cards
Shuffle the 3 decks together and deal them among the players
It doesn’t matter if after dealing the cards, some players have more cards than others
Give each player one sheet from the detective notebook and a pen
Each player look at their cards and mark off the suspects, weapons and rooms they have as they cannot be in the envelope
Keep your sheet and cards secret
And now you are ready to learn how to play
Your goal is to solve the murder by correctly guessing who did it? With which weapon? And where?
Miss scarlett always starts
If no one is playing her, play begins with the next character clockwise
On your turn, you may move your character by rolling the dice
If you roll a magnifying glass, pick up a clue card for each magnifying glass you roll and read it out loud, then do what it says
Then, move your character token the number of squares shown on the dice roll. Magnifying glass icon counts as 1
note that you cannot move diagonally nor move through or land on a square occupied by another player token
You can skip the movement if your character is in a room and you want to remain there
Or if the room has a secret passage, you can use it by moving the character token from one corner room to its connecting corner room
Whether you moved or not, if you are in a room, you can make a suggestion to help you figure out the 3 cards in the envelope
suggest which character did it & which weapon was used
Move the suggested character and weapon to the room you are in
Example - this character is on the library - they suggest that it was scarlet with the rope in the library
The player to the left of the accuser looks at its cards
If that player has one card you asked, they must show you the card - don’t let other players see
If they have more than one of those cards, they can pick which one to show
And if the player has neither card, they must say so
If this happens, the next player checks their cards until someone shows you a card or until you`ve asked everyone
Once you`ve seen a card, you know its not inside the file envelope
Make a mark on your sheet
Play continues with the player on your left
If you think you know who did it, what and where, on you can make an accusation
You can make an accusation right after making a suggestion and you don’t need to be in the room you are going to name nor roll the dice
Example
mr blue accuses mustard with the candlestick in the living room
Then, look inside the envelope
If the 3 cards you named match with the card inside the envelope you win!
If they don’t match, you continue playing but you cannot move, make suggestions or accuse
You must show cards when another player makes a suggestion though
If no one makes a correct accusation, then the culprit got away and no one wins!
And that’s how you play clue board game!

Also I don't know if this is the official rules but according to the video game on the Nintendo switch you can only make a suggestion in a room one time and then you have to move to a different room to make another suggestion. But then came go back to the room u where in
Does this also work if youre playing with only two player?

I have 2 questions. 1. When I pick up a clue card saying all players rush to the room of their choice, does the player with the card choose the room or is it each players’ choice of rooms? 2. Can I stay in the same room trying to eliminate it from my sheet?

why are there multiple boxes on the sheet though ? do you have to cross them all at once?
@purejade7595
Жыл бұрын
Hi there, I dont know If you still needed this question answered but basically, the extra boxes are super important and I'm surprised they were not covered here Essentially, the boxes help you identify which players have which card that's been shown, as well as allowing you to theorize who can have what Example, you are playing scarlett and it is Peacocks turn. Peacock asks if it was Green with the candlestick in the library, in which case Orchid (or white depending on your version) shows a card to peacock. Now you know that orchid has one of those 3 cards and thus you can mark the possibility in a different box with a "?" As in maybe. It helps with strategizing and identifying other people's cards without actually having to see them and thus gaining evidence quicker

@@frogie7699wow this is super late and you might have already understood the game at this point but I’ll go for it. Basically it’s useful when during the rotation of showing cards and the players don’t have/deny that they have the suggested character, item, or place, you can take note of that and mark it on your sheet. You will eventually know which cards they have and which they don’t. For example: Your cards are Ms Scarlett, Knife, Library and one of the players suggested “Ms Scarlett, Knife, Lounge”, you’ll know who has the Lounge card since you have both Ms Scarlett and the Knife. It also gives you the advantage to cross it off of your own sheet
Hi i have a question Why do we need to move in the game to help us
@yodenman
7 ай бұрын
Because you can only make a suggestion when you are in a room. Therefore you have to move around the board to eliminate the rooms, suspects and weapons.
i’m confused about something, what’s the difference between a suggestion and a accusation. Also, cant you just keep making a suggestion until you have the answer?
@TabletopDuo

Hi, the suggestions can be done every turn and will clarify any doubts you have. The accusation can be done once and if you get it right you win, but if you dont get it right, you are out of the game. Cheers

They should you should just add a and let the referee be the only one allowed to look inside the detective case file with the three cards. Because once anybody makes an accusation and then looks at the three cards it's over

I think he says that if you make a accusation and are incorrect, then you are essentially out the game. Cannot move, make suggestions, or accusations. Kind of like you lose credibility and no one listens to your opinion afterwards hahaha. So, best moves are to suggest multiple times and collect info that way, and conceal your evidence so that you will solve the crime before someone else lol.
