Clue Suspect Card Game ~ Family Game Series #10
Okay so by now you may know that I love playing Clue: The Classic Edition. Clue Suspect is a card game version of the original Clue. What I like about it is that it removes the board in an attempt to streamline the game. This makes it quicker and perfect for taking the game on the go! The object of the game is exactly the same as the original. You are trying to solve a crime by asking questions about the cards possessed by the other players. The difference is that instead of asking for a location, suspect and weapon; players can only ask for two things. The two things you can ask has to be of the same type. And through deduction skills and process of elimination players need to figure out the suspect, weapon and location involved in the crime.
The Cards…
The game comes with a selection of cards that are divided up like this: Case File cards, Evidence cards, Reminder Cards, the Crime card, and not-used-in-the-game-at-all cards. There are four sets of case file cards. They are identical and each player is given one set to start the game. Each set contains a card for each suspect, weapon, and room. The Reminder cards can be used as rule cards, we use them like this. The Evidence cards are similar to the Case File cards. There is one Case File card for each suspect, weapon, and room. However they have a slightly different purpose in the game. When you set up the game, one suspect, one weapon, and one room card are randomly removed from the Evidence cards. You then shuffle the rest and deal them evenly to the players. If there are any extra cards, they are placed face up where all can see them. The Crime card is placed over the three Evidence cards that are removed at the beginning of the game. The not-used-in-the-game-at-all cards are exactly that. There is a description card for each of the six suspects and four blank cards. Honestly I’m not sure as to why they are included as they are totally pointless.
This game is very easy to play, and I find it just as good as the board game. This one finishes quicker though. It’s a super fun game that our family enjoys playing!

Clue is one of my favorite board games! This is an awesome twist on the classic, I definitely want to play it now! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
It’s a fun game! Thank you for visiting my blog today. 🙂
I would be really interested in trying this game when I go to the hospital, I go pretty often, and I have to stay a long time every time I go. I may be able to bring this with me.
This is definitely a great game to take anywhere. Just keep in mind that it is a two player game.
Card games are so fun, I really like apples to apples and taboo.
I recently tried the jumanji board game, it was interesting, my boyfriend wanted to keep playing!
Curious about this.
I always liked Clue, the board game, but the one thing I didn’t like about it was how long it took to play. This card game is a big improvement to me since it plays similarly, but plays faster. This would bring me back to playing Clue again.
