Some mysteries are easy and some are quite challenging. All of them
are immensely clever and fun to figure out. The plastic mansion, with its
reversible room board and stand-up base, is delightful to interact with.
you'll keep track of clues and test your deductions without need for
pencil and paper.
Finally! Winnings Moves has come up with a winning concept for playing
Clue solo. The game, set up like a logic puzzle, is immensely fun as it
brings to life Boddy mansion right before the player with 60 different
mysteries. The red plastic “mansion” is able to display six rooms at a
time - the dining room, ballroom, lounge, kitchen, conservatory and
library for the easier games and the billiard room, study, dressing room,
wine cellar, hall and rose garden in the more challenging 30. The clear
plastic playing pieces which depict the suspect sillouettes are able to fit
in the slots in the mansion to keep track of the player's sleuthing.
The plastic mansion is nice in that it gives shape to the mansion and
actually follows the basic layout of the board with one room flanking
each side of the entrance hall. The display pictures of the rooms are, as
well, fabulous. The artist cleverly throws part of the image in the
forefront to give the picture an almost three-dimensional quality. The
rooms themselves are filled giving the player a lot to look at. Perhaps
the only downside is that some of the portraits shown appear in multiple
rooms. Similarly, the same trophy appears in both the billiard room and
library. A last note on the rooms is that, aside from Clue the Movie, this
is the first edition to have a dressing room - which looks very much like
a bedroom and might as well have been called such.
The playing pieces are suitabling intriguing for a mystery in their black
sillouette. Alongside a token for “Dead Body” there are the usual six
suspects as well as The Butler, Mrs. Meadow-Brook, Lady Lavender,
Rusty and Prince Azure. Sadly, the sillouttes of Mrs. Meadow-Brook and
Mrs. Peacock have been switched in name. Also, the silloutte of “The
Butler” is clearly the Lord Gray character of other editions.
The box is great with a darkened image of the mansion on the front with
the suspect sillouettes appearing in the windows. The butler is missing,
however. Perhaps he killed the man in the lower right with the
unnecessary question mark looming over his body. Streaks of rain show
over the image, but none of the lightning shown is hitting the lighting
rods on the top of the mansion. The inside cover (opened via a bit of
velcro) shows a man slumped over a table in front of the game. It's
unclear if the man is sleeping or if it is a representation of a murdered
man. Either way... it works.
The game works too! The logic puzzles are fun and intriguing. They may
be a bit complicated for a 10 year old, which the box indicates is the
minimum age. The easier games take five or ten minutes to solve. The
harder, progressively longer. The only downside is that the suspects are
introduced in every game in the same order. It's only when more
suspects appear in the mysteries that this changes. The game would
greatly improve if each game were completely different with different
characters no matter how many are involved.
Overall, this is a highly enjoyable game if you don't have others to enjoy
a round of classic Clue.
Clue Suspects
Algunos misterios son fáciles y otros son bastante desafiantes. Todos ellos son
inmensamente inteligentes y divertidos de entender. La mansión de plástico,
con su tablero reversible y base de pie, es una delicia para
interactuar. realizará un seguimiento de las pistas y probará sus deducciones
sin necesidad de lápiz y papel.
La caja es genial con una imagen oscura de la mansión en el frente con las
sospechosas sillouettes que aparecen en las ventanas. Sin embargo, falta el
mayordomo. Tal vez mató al hombre en la esquina inferior derecha con el
innecesario signo de interrogación que se cernía sobre su cuerpo. Rayas de
lluvia se muestran sobre la imagen, pero ninguno de los rayos que se
muestran está golpeando las barras de iluminación en la parte superior de la
mansión. La cubierta interior (abierta con un poco de velcro) muestra a un
hombre desplomado sobre una mesa frente al juego. No está claro si el
hombre está durmiendo o si es una representación de un hombre
asesinado. De cualquier manera ... funciona.
