Manufacturer's Description
Cluedo
It's the party everyone’s dying to attend and the mystery you love to solve again and again is now even more intense. Cluedo is back with a modern twist: a soiree at a millionaire mogul’s mansion turned deadly, and you must find out who is responsible for murdering the host. There’s no Revolver or Billiard Room this time… but could it have been Scarlet with the Dumbbell in the Spa? Open up the tabloid--style instructions to get the scoop on the updated rooms, weapons, and guests. A deck of Intrigue Cards adds suspense to your game with cards that can help you solve the crime faster… or even result in a second victim. Narrow down which rumours are true and which are just hearsay -- and get caught up in the scandal of the century.
The Guest List
Kasandra Scarlet She is at the center of every social event and is the hottest star on the movie scene
Jack Mustard Once the most sought after celebrity football player, age has finally caught up to him
Diane White Living in the shadow of her childhood acting fame she is constantly reminding others of her past success, finding it difficult to move on
Victor Plum A self-made video-game design billionaire, that moved out of the dingy basement and into a life of luxury
Jacob Green Need help with connections, getting noticed, getting ahead… Green is the man on the scene with all the ins
Eleanor Peacock Coming from a wealthy family of politicians, she’s known to raise money for any cause as long as she is in the spotlight
The Millionaire Mogul is Missing
Everyone knows it was foul play. Now you must solve the mystery. Move around the mansion and look at the cards in the other players’ hands. If you can narrow down who did it, where, and with which weapon,and identify the three cards in the envelope, you win.

Being a huge fan of classic Cluedo I was a bit sceptical of this revision, but I'm surprised to say the additions really do work very well.
There are three more murder weapons, increasing the number of solutions. The characters each have a special ability (e.g. take an extra turn once per game) which gives them a bit more individuality.
The biggest change is the addition of 'intrigue cards' which are drawn when landing on a '?' square, rolling '?' on one the dice or optionally when called to room as part of a rumour (suggestion). Intrigue cards also give you more options, but some are just 'clock cards'. The player drawing the last 'clock card' is killed by the murderer, adding to the tension late in the game. And the card goes back to the pile to be drawn again! I didn't like this mechanic at first, but I can see that it appeals to younger players and introduces a sense of urgency.
Also there are cosmetic changes: the board has been updated with modern rooms (e.g. patio, spa) and the characters have been given full names (though I can't help still using the old ones).
It still feels like Cluedo and is more fun. The only bad thing I can say about it is that the counters are a bit strange; upright slabs with a '?' on them. I much prefered the old counters that at least looked like they could be a person.
Overall a solid five stars.

This is a brand new version of the classic game. It's very classy with new rooms and rules. The rules are quite long and can be hard to understand but once you do understand them it's a great game. I think it's better played with more than two players otherwise it's always easy to find out who the killer is. Overall I love this game and I prefer it to the older version. This game is suitable for 9's or 10's and up. Any younger and it would be to hard to understand. I love this game. (my daughter mainly wrote this)

we got this game for Christmas, absolutely love it!!! Have lost many an afternoon playing, this is a million times better than the old version, lots of great twists with intrigue cards. Just a shame that the characters have lost their titles , we still like to use them. A great family game that even teenagers enjoy playing with you.

Fun and questioning. Teaches the need to question and to assess alternatives. Eliminating the options must be done in a disciplined way but it is good challenging fun.
