The rules are simple and it only takes about 5 minutes to set them up. This is a turn-based dice game.

How to play Cluedo

Classic Clue begins with the murder of Mr. Boddy in his Tudor mansion. The aim of the game is to find out in which room, with what weapon and who committed the murder. The variables involved in the investigation are the 9 rooms of the Tudor mansion, the 6 occupants of the house at the time the crime occurred, and the 6 possible weapons found around the house. To set up the board game Cluedo, the cards are separated into the variables, that is, rooms, suspects, and weapons. The cards are shuffled and without looking at them, a card is randomly selected from each of these 3 piles and placed in the envelope. The goal now is for everyone to be the first to find out by elimination exactly what those 3 cards are. The rest of the cards are shuffled and dealt among the players. Also each one receives a detective notebook that is a checklist of all the cards. You have to mark the cards you have in your hand. Next, place the 6 weapons in the following locations:

Dagger in the living room String in the ballroom Lead Pipe in the greenhouse Chandelier in the dining room Revolver in the study Spanner / Spanner in the kitchen The other 3 of the 9 rooms on the board are: Hall, Billiard Room and Library. Then place the colored pieces to represent the 6 suspects on their corresponding colored dots on the board. You play with the character piece closest to you. The 6 characters or suspects and colors are normally:

Red for Miss Scarlet

White for Mrs. White

Yellow for Colonel Mustard

Green for Reverend Green

Purple for Professor Plum

And blue for Mrs. Peacock

Then everyone takes turns clockwise to roll the dice and move the corresponding number of spaces on the board. The goal is to enter a room. When you are in a room you can make your suggestion, for example “I think it was Professor Plum in the kitchen with the rope.“When you make your suggestion, you should move the relevant pieces to the room you are suggesting. You put this theory to the person on your left. Then they have to refute it by showing you (only) one of the cards you have. Suggested, so that you can cross it out. from your checklist. If he / she doesn’t have any of the 3 cards in your theory, move on to the next person. If they have any of them, they should show you only one. If a person gives you a theory, you should always show one card if you have it, but you only have to show him one. You can make a suggestion including cards that you have in your hand, to eliminate other cards. This is also a good way to deceive the other players as far as your line of investigation. Over time, you will be able to make a definite suggestion as to what the 3 cards in the pack are. But the goal is to be the first. As you can see, the rules of the Clue game are very simple and therefore you can learn to play the Cluedo game very rá quickly. which is a fun game with many hours of fun.
