CRIME ON CARDS!

 

For detectives on the road there is now a version of the Clue board game with cards only. Each player is given a set of case file cards: 6 suspects, 3 rooms and 3 weapons. Then the evidence cards are separated into weapons, suspects and rooms, shuffled separately and the top card of each stack is set aside unchecked for the case! Then all three stacks are shuffled together and dealt evenly to all players; an eventual surplus is placed open-faced on the table. Now you put case file cards in your hand that correspond to evidence cards in your hand or on the table face-down into your personal “innocent” stack. Then you ask players in turn for two facts. When you are being asked and you have a corresponding evidence card you show it to the questioner. Your turn ends, if you are questioner and are shown an evidence card or have asked the last player. When you are shown no card you have definitely found a card that is part of the case! If you are shown a card you can place your own corresponding case file card onto the “innocent” pile. To make an accusation you first ask if somebody else wants to accuse, too. If not, you place the three case file cards from your hand face-down on the table, control the set-aside evidence card and have either won or – in case you are wrong – are out of the game and can only answer when asked. When several players want to accuse, all lay out their cards and reveal them. The one who is correct wins.

Regardless whether cards or board, the game is good, is fun and there is a version for experienced players featuring one additional weapon and two additional rooms.
