I grew up playing Clue and was excited to find this card game version. Occasionally reworks of classic games aren't that great (such as Electronic Monopoly), but I bought it anyway as a gift for my younger sisters, since they like clue so much. We've played it a number of times now, and I have to say, it's actually better than I expected. It's a much quicker version of the classic Clue concept of figuring out who the murder is, where they did it, and with what murder weapon, all by using deductive reasoning and sometimes a little luck. You can play the game through in about 20 minutes or so, meaning it's ideal for playing 3-4 times in the time it would take to play one round of the board game. It can also be played in the car, which makes it a nice game to keep in your glove compartment to fend off boredom.

Because it is faster pace, younger players may struggle to keep up, and so I'd say the game makes sense for those who are 8 and older. Many game actions allow you to see more than one card at a time, and this makes the amount of information you need to keep track of quickly that much greater than the original.

I enjoy playing this game, and while it won't replace our favorite games, it's a nice variation of an old standby. My sisters (who are 13 and 14) both really liked it.

3.5 / 5 Stars. Worth buying if you like Clue or games like it. Probably not ideal for children under 8.

It's not as fun as the board game, but the kids like it and as it's small, it's easy to travel with.
