About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a battle of wits in Clue: Rivals Edition! Forget the whole family gathering, this is a one-on-one showdown to uncover who the villain was that sent Mr. Boddy to the great beyond in the mansion. The mission is clear: identify the murderer, the murder weapon, and the location where the deed was done. Was it Colonel Mustard with the candlestick in the library? Or Mrs. Peacock with the rope in the conservatory?

The game challenges you to use logic and memory to eliminate clues and suspects. Each turn is a chance to gather information and grow suspicious of your opponent. When you think you've cracked the case, it's time to make the final accusation. If you're right, victory is yours! If you're wrong, well... that complicates things.

Featuring classic components like the game board, clue cards, pawns, and weapons, this edition delivers the classic Clue experience in a faster, more direct contest. It's perfect for anyone who enjoys a good deduction game without the lengthy playtime of other versions. Ideal for couples or friends who like a mental challenge and a good dose of suspense. Are you ready to prove you're the sharpest detective in the house?
