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.

I think everyone has played this at one time or another when growing up, and it now has been updated and changed to make it a bit more modern and to and some more wrinkles, but it is still enjoyable.
My children love it and I like that it lets them think in terms of trying to deduce who is the culprit.
I also showed the new game to a friend who had not seen it, and a few of us (all adults) had a good time playing. Perfect for all ages.

I bought this for my daughters 9th birthday and the memories came flooding back! The concept is the same but the board, cards, markers, instructions, everything really is so much more stylish and really trendy! Some of the pieces are small so beware of losing them (or the dog/baby getting them). We have had some great games but you do need more than 2 players otherwise it all becomes a little silly.

We bought this as a stocking filler for our 8-year old son, based on the fond memories I had of playing this with my sister and brother. He wasn't all that fussed to begin with! However, when we all played it he loved it. The rules are slightly different to the one I played 30 years ago but no problem there. I can see we'll be playing it quite a bit ... when I have the time! I was sad that the characters' names are quite basic I have to say. The quality of the board and pieces is good and you get loads of pre-printed lists of weapons, people and rooms to eliminate.

Gave this to our 8 year old son, took a bit to explain it to him but once he'd played it a few times he got the hang of it - good wholesome fun

Not used to the change of rooms, characters and weapons as yet. Still fondly remember Miss Scarlet & Prof Plum. Provides a different feel for the game.
