If a player's suggestion has brought another player's token into a room, the second player may make their own suggestion in the room when their turn comes up, if desired. If not, they may move out of the room, and if able to reach another room, make a suggestion therein, as usual. In the American version, players are not allowed to make suggestions repeatedly by remaining in one room; if they wish to make a second suggestion, they must first spend a turn out of the room. Traditionally, Miss Scarlett had the advantage of moving first. This has been eliminated with the implementation of the high roll rule in modern versions. Mozart, Mike (26 January 2010).

Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Cluedo The Times, 15 October 2009, by Damian Whitworth (retrieved 26 November 2009) Open the secret envelope to see if your accusation is correct. If it is, you win the game! If not, you are out of the game and cannot win. The game continues until one player correctly accuses the murderer, or until all players have made incorrect accusations and are out of the game. Perparation: Set up the game board and place all the playing pieces on their designated spaces. Each player chooses a token to represent them during the game. Shuffle the suspect, weapon, and room cards and place them face-down on their designated spaces. Take one card from each category and place them into the secret envelope. This will be the solution to the murder mystery.A player makes a suggestion to learn which cards may be eliminated from suspicion, but in some cases it may be advantageous for a player to include one of their own cards in a suggestion. This technique can be used for both forcing a player to reveal a different card as well as misleading other players into believing a specific card is suspect. Therefore, moving into a room already held in the player's hand may work to their advantage. Suggestions may also be used to thwart a player's opponent. Since every suggestion results in a suspect token being re-located to the suggested room, a suggestion may be used to prevent another player from achieving their intended destination, preventing them from suggesting a particular room, especially if that player appears to be getting close to a solution. [23] Notetaking [ edit ] The board game spawned a franchise, which since 1985 has expanded to include a feature film, mini-series, a musical, numerous books and several video games.
