About the game
What you do in a play session
Forget the classic board! Clue Express (or Clue Diced!, as some know it) brings the "whodunit" mystery to the palm of your hand with a brand new dice-focused approach. Instead of moving pawns around rooms, you'll be rolling dice to try and crack the case. Four suspect dice and one bonus die help you gather clues. With each roll, you'll eliminate possibilities and get closer to the truth, while your opponents reveal cards that offer valuable hints. When you think you've figured out the mastermind behind the crime, you can make your final guess and secretly check the cards inside the "Case File" envelope. If you're right, victory is yours! The game comes in a super practical round box, perfect for taking on trips or playing anywhere. It features two difficulty levels, making it accessible for both newcomers and fans of the series. It's a faster, more streamlined version of the classic, ideal for anyone seeking a quick and fun deduction experience without the fuss. Perfect for filling those "what should we play now?" moments with a dose of mystery and luck.
