Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
There has been a murder at Tudor Hall--Dr Black has been found dead and police are treating the death as suspicious. Welcome to the classic whodunit Cluedo. Repackaged for a new generation, it's every bit as exciting and popular as when it was first developed.
Who committed the murder? Was it Colonel Mustard, Professor Plum or the Reverend Green? Could it have been Mrs Peacock, Mrs White or Miss Scarlett? Where did the murder take place? Was it in the dining room, the lounge, the hall, the study, the kitchen, the library, the billiard room, the conservatory or the ballroom? Which implement was used? Was it a dagger, a spanner, lead piping, a candlestick, a revolver or rope?
It is all very intriguing.
The object of the game is to be the first to detect the murder--who, where and with what? Ask the questions, solve the clues and by a process of elimination work out "whodunnit?"
This excellent game has been enjoyed for years and its popularity continues to grow. The manufacturer recommends that it is suitable for three to six players from age eight up. It is particularly appropriate for groups of mixed ages, older players being able to play with younger generations on a more or less equal footing.
The rules pamphlet, otherwise known as "Detective Case Notes" takes the form of The Daily Echo of Friday June 6, 1926. It is sepia and sets out what needs to be done to set up the game, what you need to do with the clues, how to compile the evidence, how to "operate", how to help police with their enquiries and ultimately how to solve the case.
Have fun making accusations and suggestions, but don't forget to watch your back... --Susan Naylor

It has been wonderful to play this game again with our children. We bought it as a birthday present for my 8yr daughter. She loves it. She, and her sister (6), haven't quite grasped the concept of eliminating the suspects from the clues you hear and receive but this will soon come.
We prefered the plastic coloured pieces for the characters that Cluedo had when we were kids, rather than the cards that sit in stands that come with this version which are going to become battered and torn soon.

When I first got the board out, ready to play, I was slightly dubious about what might turn up, it's a mystery itself as to why I bought it. But as my friends and I started round the board, I found my self eager to get my turn as I wanted to be the one who solved the "murder." The board itself is different from any other game, and the rules are simple yet effective.
All in all, a great game to play, kids will love it ( 8 - ?), but not for the children under 8 as I was confused at times!

I bought this as a birthday present for my 7 year old niece and she loves it! Its a great family game and isn't too complicated for my niece even though the age range is 8+. I had this game as a child ( and still play it!) and I definately think the classic format is better than the Harry Potter and Simpson versions which will appear dated in 10 years time.

My daughter is only 6 and even she grasped it quickly. Funny how it always seems to be Mrs White or Rev Green that 'done it'!
I would recommend this classic game to anyone of any age.

Like most people I suspect, this was an upgrade to an old, clapped out version more than a little the worse for wear. After spending nearly £15 I'm not sure it was worth it - I could probably have 'knocked something better up in me shed' for a fraction of the price.
The characters are rubbish little cards, stuck on even more stupid, cheap-looking little plastic slot things. They keep falling over and look lame. The weapons themselves are also made of cheap plastic. The tick sheets can be done with any decent word processor and printer, probably clearer and almost certainly bigger and cheaper..... you can see a trend coming here. How this lot adds up to even £15 amazes me. However, the weapon, room and character cards are all OK and the board itself seems fine. Plus, what can go wrong with die ? Not much, luckily.
All in all, not really worth the money, albeit not a reflection on Amazon per se. One reboot that didn't quite work IMHO.

Got it before the changes but felt the coloured counters a bit small not as I remembered as a child and the murder weapons were horrible plastic! But I love the game!

Stir the little grey cells
Still the best board game ever devised. Not only is it great fun but it also helps develop powers of thought.
