Hey Rodney, I can't believe 5 years ago my "Watch it played" journey began with Pandemic, the first board game I introduced to my family. We have enjoyed many more games since then. Sadly, my father passed away last week and I just wanted to come and thank you. Your wonderful videos introduced us to many games and helped created so many laughs and memories around the family table that we will cherish forever. Without you and your hard work, such warming memories would have never existed. Keep up the good work Rodney, and thank you so, so much.

I remember this game being so frustrating if you're a player everyone wants to accuse. Getting yanked to whatever room that might be far from where you wanted to me, roll-to-move meaning you can just get unlucky on your way back, etc. I kind of wonder if the game wouldn't be almost strictly better if all the dice and movement were taken out and people could just go to whatever room on every turn. Clue with only the decks and notepads would make it much more portable too.

Hey Rodney loved your video and explanation... i just have two questions:- what if i rolled 6 but i can only move till 4 since someone is infront of me .....shall i just stop at 4 or do i go side and continue till 6 2. what if no one has the cards that i suggested does that mean that i win the game since no one has the card and that must mean those are the exact 3 cards which are in the envelop btw love your videos❤❤❤❤

@WatchItPlayed 3 ай бұрын

1) You move up to the amount rolled, so you can move fewer spaces if you want. 2) You only win once you make an Accusation and confirm by looking in the envelope. In many ways, you are right, you "could" have just won, but maybe no one had the cards because YOU had one of them :) Either way, when you're ready to make an accusation, just fallow the instructions in the video and you will be okay :)

I play a different version of the 2 player game (I think it was in the 2012 edition) Before dealing the cards out to the players, put 4 Clue cards to one side of the board then deal out the rest, if a player makes a suggestion that cannot be disproved, then the suggester may look at one of the 4 cards

@WatchItPlayed 8 күн бұрын

1) I can't really say that it has a point - it's kind of a strange little rule, right? I guess it's a helpful visual reminder of the items. 2) You'll want to get into a room quickly and make a suggestion - that's how you start getting information quickly.
