Clue Games - New Variations of the Classic Clue Board Game
The most well-known version of the Clue games is the classic Clue game, not much changed from the version created in 1949. Cluedo is a great mystery detective board game a classic whodunit game!
In my other lenses I have written about this classic Clue version, the game play, the characters, rooms and weapons, and how to play Cluedo. In this lens I wanted to write about a couple new versions of the board game.
If you are feeling nostalgic and want to play Clue but got no-one to play with, you can now also play Clue classic on you computer, for details, visit: Clue Computer Game Reviews.
The Simpsons Clue Games
There have already been a few versions of the Simpsons Clue game. The latest one is the 3rd edition (October 2007).Unlike other Clue games variations, the Simpsons Clue 3rd ed. sticks to the same rules and game play as the classic Clue. And with my favorite characters such as Homer and Bart, this is a very funny and appealing version.
"Reporting live" Kent Brockman sets the scene for the game: It's the opening night of the Natural History Museum in Springfield, and Mr. Burns has been murdered. His body has been found in the rib cage of a dinosaur skeleton. It's a race to find out who done in Mr. Burns' (again!). And the usual suspects are played (in the appropriate Clue Character costumes!) by:
Bart Simpson as Col. Mustard, Marge Simpson as Mrs. White, Fat Tony as Mr. Green, Edna Krabappel as Miss Scarlet, Lisa Simpson as Mrs. Peacock and Homer Simpson as Prof. Plum.
The rooms to investigate are: Great Inventions Room, Greek Room, Animal Diorama Room, Springfield History Room, Jewel Room, Medieval History Room, Egyptian Room, Early Man Room, and Dinosaur Room.
And the possible weapons are: Greek Bust, Spear, Tarantula, Cobra, Bone and Mace.
The game play is basically the same as the traditional game, for a summary of the rules checkout my other lenses. This Clue game uses the reliable starting place of the great original boardgame and turns it into a very entertaining version, including the subtle humour that makes the Simpsons so popular. The detail of the game including the eye-catching artwork of the board calls for hours of fun and laughs!
Harry Potter Version of the Clue Games
Another Clue game adaptation using modern pop-culture is the Harry Potter Clue Game. This version has some great new deviations from the original Clue games. In this Clue game one of the Hogwarts students has gone missing, the aim find which of the bad guys is behind it and what spell/magical item they used.The cards and items in this Potter/Clue game include:
