Wien Edition

Wien is a new edition of the classic deduction/detection game, this time with local references. In the town that is famous for "Der Dritte Mann" and in which a dog in "Kommissar Rex" shows talents for criminal investigation, Sebastian Goldstein has been murdered and players are tasked with finding out who did it where using which weapon.

The names of the characters are mix of well-known standards and new elements. We encounter Journalist Mark Gatow from Donaustadt, Justus Leimel, the banker from Brigittenau, Kevin Buschinski, a soccer player from Liesing, Gloria Hermann, an Ex-Children star from Penzing, Klaus Heinemann, a politician from Landstrasse and Charlotte Porz, the Society lady from Favoriten - a nice pun, as Favoriten is not necessarily one of the best districts of Vienna. The names of the districts, by the way, are the classic local names for them.

The weapons are the standard one, rope, dagger, candlestick, pipe, pistole or pliers. As usual, the case is determined by secretly drawing one card from suspect, weapons and location piles and players need to solve it by deducing weapon, location and culprit. Gloria Hermann starts each round, you play counter-clockwise: You roll and move or use the Fiaker for corner spots. At a location you stop your move and voice a suspicion, that is, move a weapon and a suspect to this location. Then in turn, you check your suspicion with other players. If one of them holds a card for any element of your suspicion, he shows it to you only. If you want to solve, you move to the Cluedo Room and name the combination. If you are correct, you have won, if not, you drop out of the game.

Cluedo Wien edition - a pretty new cover for a much-played that is still challenging and fun to play.
