About the game

What you do in a play session

You know that classic Cluedo everyone loves, but takes up way too much shelf space? Well, this Magnetic Pocket Edition is the ultimate solution for mystery lovers on the go! Imagine being able to solve a crime while waiting for your coffee or during a trip, without the constant fear of pieces sliding off the table. The real game-changer here is the magnetic system: the board, the tokens, and even the weapons are magnetized, ensuring everything stays put even if you're playing on a moving train or in a car.

The design is incredibly clever; everything fits snugly inside a small case that looks like a pocket diary, making it a fantastic collector's item for Cluedo fans. The pieces are tiny and super cute, adding a charming touch to the whole experience. This is a condensed version of the traditional deduction gameplay, keeping the core essence of investigating who, with what, and where the crime occurred, but with unmatched convenience. If you're a board game enthusiast who values portability and wants a classic ready for a quick 45-minute session at any time, this edition is a total find. It's the perfect detective game for those who refuse to leave the fun behind just because they left the house. Just sharpen your detective skills, because the mystery is always just a step away!
