There are a few ways to take notes in the game of Clue that can help you keep track of the information you have gathered and make better deductions: 1. Keep a list of the cards you have: Make a list of the cards you have been dealt and cross off the ones that have been shown to you or suggested by other players. This can help you keep track of which cards are still in play and which ones are part of the solution. 2. Make a chart: Create a chart with the names of the suspects, weapons, and rooms on it. As you gather information, mark off the ones that have been eliminated. This can help you narrow down the possibilities and make better deductions. 3.

What are the best strategies at the game of Clue?

 There are a few strategies that can be helpful in the game of Clue: 1. Pay attention to the cards you have: Keeping track of the cards you have can help you make better deductions and accusations. For example, if you have a card that matches a suggestion made by another player, you know that the weapon, suspect, or location suggested is not part of the solution. 2. Make strategic suggestions: When you make a suggestion, try to choose a weapon, suspect, and location that you think other players are less likely to have. For example, if you have a card for the lead pipe, you might want to suggest the lead pipe as the weapon, because it is less likely that other players will have it. 3. Don't reveal too much: While it is important to share information with other players, you don't want to give away too much. If you reveal all of your cards, you won't have any information left to use to make deductions or accusations. 4. Pay attention to the board: The game board can be...

What is Clue (Cluedo)?

Image
Clue, also known as Cluedo, is a board game in which players try to solve a mystery by deducing the location of a hidden weapon, the identity of the suspect who committed a crime, and the location of the crime. The game is set in a fictional mansion, and players must move around the mansion and gather clues from the various rooms to help them make their deductions.  The game is played with a game board, playing pieces, and cards. The game board is a representation of the mansion, with each room represented by a space on the board. Each player chooses a playing piece and moves it around the board according to the roll of a dice. There are six suspects in the game, each with their own playing piece and corresponding card. There are also six weapons, each with its own card, and nine rooms in the mansion, each with its own card. One card from each group is randomly chosen and placed in a envelope, which represents the "solution" to the mystery. The remaining cards are shuffled an...

If you already read some post on this blog, you already know how much I like board games. I recently received an email from another board game lover who decided to build a brand new one for us game lovers. To make a short story, it’s a mix of Scrabble, Rummy and Boggle played in team or not. Like Scrabble, you need to build words to score points, but this time, you use cards that you lay down on the table. The deck of card will include special cards to increase the value of words but also to slow down your opponent trying to build this gigantic word. The game will be a lot faster than a game of Scrabble and I think a lot more dynamic. I didn’t try the game yet (will do soon) but if you want to learn more, visit the 5ToClose board game website for more detail. You will find all the details and game rules . Don’t miss my next post, I will describe my experience with this new Waterhole company board game.

S ince Easter, I've been playing Monopoly Junior every day with my daughter. She's alm o st four years old and she's already into one of my favorite board game of all time, Monopoly (we ll, a kid version o f it). I'm always fascinated by my kids and the speed at with they can get the grasp on something new. After three or four game, she knew all the main attraction on the board and was hoping to put a kiosk on it. The notion of money is a little bit more difficult to assimilate at this age but I think its better th is way for the moment! What matters at this age is more the color of things Follo wing that rule, she will always prefer purple instead of yellow and if I land on the unoccupied balloon stand, she will try to trade her helicopter stand for my balloon stand immediately! The reason why this kid version of monopoly is so easy to play with my daughter is because they removed a lot of decision taking (which is difficult at this age bel...
