Clue/Cluedo: Classic Edition Reviews

love this game as it is a classic of the classic board game im obsessed

Who doesn't love a game of Cluedo? I wouldn't sit here and play it for days on end or anything, but it's a fun game and very well made. I like that you can host games too.

I really enjoy this game! It’s a great workout for the brain. You slowly check each option, eliminate the wrong ones, and analyze everything carefully to come to a conclusion. I absolutely love it! If you enjoy thinking and problem-solving, I highly recommend it!

Great game to play with friends not in the same place as you. Also a great game to play by yourself to keep your mind sharp.

One of my favorite games, but this version is plagued with numerous issues. I sent a detailed list of fixes to the developers over a year ago, yet nothing has been addressed. Disappointing, given the game's potential.

Lots of fun and very straightforward. If you love playing Clue, you'll love playing this! If there is anything I would change, it would be to allow you to earn rewards so you can unlock characters and maps.

This is a pretty good and faithful recreation of Classic Clue/Cluedo. It sticks fairly closely to the classic rules with a few changes, namely: All characters start in the center of the board, with a spinner selecting who goes first rather than it going around the board by character. (So no fights over who gets to be Miss Scarlett etc.) It also has you roll two dice instead of just one, but I think the last time the official rule was to roll one die instead of two was the 1986 edition and even then I doubt many people actually played that way. It does not include an option for the more "modern" rules changes and additions (some inspired by "Clue Master Detective" and now standard in the game) the two player variant is notably absent. You can adjust the difficulty and number of computer opponents very well. Which can make a huge difference if you just want to play a quick game instead of waiting for 5 other players/characters to take their turn, but would still like a satisfying challenge. The wide variety of themes are nice but are *purely* cosmetic. I seem to recall reading that you can play online with someone using a DLC theme you don't have just fine, it'll just appear as the default mansion. But I don't actually know if this is true and can't make any promises on that front. I don't think the newer iteration of the game from Marmalade Games has this vanilla/DLC compatibility in any case. There are very few game settings to choose from as far as aspect ratios etc. it feels very much like a mobile-first game which I expect it was. Overall, a very solid offering if you're looking for a Vanilla Clue experience, easily the best of several digital implementations of the board game I've tried, though I have yet to try Marmalade Game's newer iteration on this game. If all you're looking for is a classic Clue experience to play solo or with a friend, can't really go wrong here.

I have played over 300 hours on this game it is just like the OG game I know and love. I love the characters and boards that you can pick and I like to be able to play with real people. Currently my account is saying my characters are locked as if I did not purchase them so I hope to get this resolved quickly because I want to play this game again.

Best game to hone your deduction skills. Really suspenseful when you and your friends decide to mute during the game, but equally as fun if you play unmuted.

This game reminds me of modern fighting games where you buy them and then more than half of the screen is covered in locked DLC. Thankfully you don't need any of that nonsense to enjoy Clue. Clue is infamously a 3-player game and if you know anything about human beings, it's really hard to get 3 of them together to do anything. Now you can play clue with strangers and you don't even have to wear pants.
