After playing Clue, I thought that the game did have some good benefits. The game had benefits such as finding out who is lying, moving to different rooms, and using strategy to find out who killed the victim. I haven't played Clue in a long time because me and my parents were too busy doing other chores around the house. The game is fun and it helps you to solve problems just like a real detective. This type of game involves being alert, aggressive, and intelligent to some degree in the game. You can even use process of elimination to narrow your search down to one weapon, one building, and one suspect in Clue. There are some things that are not good about the game. One disadvantage is that Clue does not have enough weapons for all of the rooms. Even though the game has a small number of weapons for the rooms, you should have more weapons for this board game. I am bringing this problem up because we couldn't find out who had the knife card. This made the game complicated on Wensday. Another disadvantage for the game is that there were no set of cards to help you along at the end of the game. I understand that you have to make an accusation and then pull the solution cards from the envelope, but players start to get confused when they can't find the victim towards the end of the game. On the second round of clue, we spent like 20 minutes playing the game. One player didn't find out who was the suspect until the last minute. I can make the game better by making process of elimination cards for the suspects. This will make the game go by a little faster than before. It shouldn't go by too fast but, Clue can get complicated at times and you can get the cards mixed up sometimes. Just like I said before, I would create more weapons so that every player would be able to compete against each other instead of having one player winning every single game of Clue. I would add in another rule that says to put all of the cards that were shown to the opponent during an accusation in a disposal box. For this way, nobody won't have to worry about cheating. Cheating in Clue disobeys the rules and most of the people I played with have cheated before. After adding these items and rules in Clue, I would just make the board and the game pieces in different colors. Overall, playing clue gave me and my partners a learning experience on Wensday.
