DIE NÄCHSTE GENERATION

 

This new edition of the classic detective game has been given a new design and introduces new characters and a new background story; we are now in the world of secret agents, the guests of the victim were meant to protect one of six Clue houses each, which shelter very important secrets.

The names of the characters are a mix of familiar terms, there are the male characters of Bloom, Grün and Gatow and the female characters of Weiß, Gloria and Porz. The weapons have stayed the same, there are rope, dagger, candle holder, metal pipe and pipe wrench. Tom Schwarz, the multi millionaire, should have introduced the six characters to their mission, but before he can do so he is murdered. As usual the case is prepared by secretly drawing one card each of weapon, location and person and must be solved by players by finding out who did it where using what. Only one of the secret agents-to-be can be the culprit. As in all Clue games, you roll the die and move the character to a room, you need not use all pips for this; if you end on and advantage spot you get a corresponding card and resolve its effects. In a room you add suspect and weapon and pose a question for this combination: If a player holds one or more of these three cards, he shows you one! If you want to solve the case you move to the Clue Room and name the combination - if you are correct, you have won; if not, you must quit the game.

Cluedo Die nächste Generation - Clue as we know it and yet different, a felicitous variation of the familiar mechanics; the rules also list a version for two players and a team version.
