About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to unravel another mystery with Clue: 50th Anniversary Edition! This special version of the classic deduction game comes with a touch of luxury, packed in an elegant tin box that will make your shelf even more charming. The pieces have also received an upgrade, making the visual experience richer. The core gameplay follows the line of the Clue that everyone knows: who killed whom, with what weapon, and where. But pay attention, this edition brings a novelty: the 'Poison' weapon, which has appeared in other versions, makes its triumphant entry here. If you enjoy a good mystery and like collecting special editions with a cool look, this version is for you! The roll-and-move mechanic is straightforward and easy to grasp, ideal for gathering family or friends for a night of investigation. Each player takes on the role of a suspect and needs to collect clues to eliminate possibilities and get to the truth. Personality cards add an extra flavor, with unique powers that can be used once per game, giving an unexpected twist. And beware of the 'Monster' cards, especially the eighth one, which can take you out of the game! For those looking for a slightly more elaborate Clue experience with a top-notch finish, this commemorative edition is a great choice, maintaining the essence that has cemented the game's popularity for decades.
