· Strategy #1: A player may lure another player's character or pawn into the room,
deleting the need to roll the die to move their pawn or character into that
particular room. Each player should be aware of what the other
players are doing in order to avoid falling for these types of
tricks.
· Strategy #2: In the alternative from Strategy number 1, if it is clear
that one player wants to go to a certain room, other players can
sabotage that player’s effort by pulling his/her character/pawn to other
rooms, preferably far away from where they are trying to go.
· Strategy #3: If no one has a card to disprove a suggestion, that can mean
that either that particular player guessed one card correctly,
guessed two cards correctly, or wants to confuse his or her
opponents by suggesting three of their own cards. Always be careful
of putting too much weight on what other players guess. This is one
of the sneakiest ways to confuse an opponent.
· Strategy #4: If it is obvious that one of your opponents are eliminating
rooms and weapons and suspects by repeating two of the same each
time and just inserting a new person or room for example, the other
players may be able to determine that the player in question is up to something, and they may
therefore be able to figure out the cards this player has seen.
· Strategy #5: Each time a card is shown, record each accusation
with a unique number. For example, suppose that Freddy is asked
about Miss Scarlet with the rope in the Library. If Freddy has none
of these, put a FX next to them on the detective pad. If he shows
one card then mark the detective pad with a F1 (or a F2 if there is
already a F1 etc...). As the game progresses, you should be able to
eliminate options and therefore you will be able to figure out what
card Freddy has shown. This may sound a bit complicated at first,
but once you practice it a few times you will find it can be a great
advantage in the game of Clue.
Clue Tips and Warnings
Below are a few additional tips to help with the play of the game of
clue:
· A character pawn may be moved forward and sideways on the same turn, but it
cannot land on the same space twice in the same turn.
· Only one character pawn may occupy a single space at a time,
however two players may be in the same room at the same time.
· No player is allowed to enter and exit the same room on the same turn.
· A pawn character can not enter a room through the doorway if another
character pawn is
blocking the doorway space, however this rule is often ignored in
most home games.
· Do not count the doorway itself as a space as the doorway is
simply like a real doorway, a place to pass through.
· Any player may use a Secret Passage on their turn instead of rolling the
die if they start the turn in one of the rooms that contain a secret
passage. A suggestion may be made after the character is moved if
the player so desires.
· Players are required to leave a room and re-enter it to make a new suggestion.
· There is never a limit to the number of suspects and weapons that may
be located in a room at one time.
· Any player may make a suggestion followed by an accusation on the same
turn, as long as it is their turn.
