• "The board is good quality, and easy to take care of."
• "The tokens, cards, and dice nice quality and should last with a lot of use."
• "The game came in a sturdy box. It was packaged well for transport and the gameboard is very sturdy and heavy enough it lies completely flat and stable when opened."
• "The pieces didn't feel cheap like with some remakes of classic board games."
• "The item was in great condition new and good quality."

Cons:

• "The box is completely torn up. Looks like it fell through a box shredder."
• "Although the game was still in the plastic wrapper, the game box was crushed and now has a crush line down the front of it. Disappointing for a brand new game."

• "Amazon packaging for this product when delivered to me was abysmal."

Gameplay Experience

Pros:

• "This version had a new suspect which was cool."
• "You can play it with or without her and the rules of really simple."
• "Playing this game, we reenacted some of the film's scenes!!"
• "This game was easy for my kids to explain to me, which was nice not needing to read the instructions to THEM."
• "We purchased this product as a gift for an nine year old and he was immediately interested in playing it."
• "We gifted this to our 10 year old daughter for Christmas, and we have played it non stop since, sometimes 4 or 5 times in a day!"
• "Very fun little game to play with my kids. Cheaper than most of our others and the murder mystery plot is a pleasant change."

Cons:

• "What I didn't like was that the dice had a 'clue' symbol on it and every time it was rolled the player had to pick up a clue card."
• "There was no mention of Mrs. White in the game we got."
• "The cards are so bad I can see through them while sitting at my table on an overcast day."
• "The sole purpose of this version is to use alexa yet the skill is not available on alexa anymore!"
• "Very disappointing that it doesn’t actually work with Alexa!! I would call that false advertising!!"
• "The game was missing the Miss Scarlett's card. After contacting manufacturer, they are sending me a new one to correct the issue."
• "the game squares have little color depth to see one square from another and the clue pads r not only tiny but in the worst shade of blue for anyone with vision issues."

Game Components

Pros:

• "The tokens are all metal, except for the rope which is plastic (as usual)."
• "The game has the usual characters (Mr. Plum, Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlett, etc.), weapons (rope, revolver, wrench, etc.) and rooms (library, kitchen, etc.) but it adds a new twist (ghost of Mrs. White cards)."
• "The game is fun and the sound effects from Alexa adds some spookiness."
• "Good classic game! Has new rules but you can play without them if you don’t want the new rules that move the game along at a faster pace."
• "I like that it came with updated rules which include a 2 player version (very convenient for when you can't convince more than 1 person to play)."
• "The new clue card mechanism adds a nice touch, and makes the game play a little faster."
• "The combinations are always different so you can play the game over and over without ever knowing the outcome."

Cons:

• "The character pieces are nooo fun."
• "So now Mrs. White is back! At least there is a cool ghost token now."
• "The corners started to peel just after shuffling them a couple of times."
• "The board is small. It doesn’t fill the box."
• "The board is one of those quad fold things and is on the cheaper side."
• "It had missing pieces...no tokens or dice."
• "We could not give this particular game 5 stars because 8 of our clue cards came with black ink smears that made them hard to read."

Game Design

Pros:

• "The board graphics are updated, and we had no problems with the quad-fold layout."
• "Though the look and characters have evolved somewhat, the essence of the game is there."
• "This one is just like when I was young, except it has added some special cards that increased the fun, Things that reveal an extra card now and then."
• "First, the quality is good and the game still has the excitement and fun of the original."
• "Fun game. New character and also has an option of a different way of playing if you want to change it up."
• "I used to play Clue as a child, and loved it, so when this arrived I was pleased to see that it has been updated for the internet age."
• "All in all, clue is still a great game, this is a fully functional game."

Cons:

• "The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is due to the obvious PC notion that Miss White should be replaced with Miss Orchid."
• "They have politically corrected the player Mrs. White to Mrs. Orchid (asian) now in this newer version."
• "This is not the same Clue I remember as a child. The description of each character is not G-rated."
• "My only real negative about the game, is that the player pieces are no longer little characters, but basic boring shape pieces."
• "I don’t like that game pawns aren’t figures of people and just regular cheapy pawns."
• "Everything is just a bit plain. The grids on the board are just white. The player pieces are just little plastic bits like you'd find in a Sorry set."
• "The cards, player tokens, and board are all significantly smaller since the previous edition."
