That would be unlikely. My apologies for not mentioning this earlier, but to make an accusation, you must be in the Loo. Just like in the latest version I made.



Sorry for the confusion.


Not to derail the thread... but this made me think about the mechanics of the board some more. It might be interesting to make telephone stands (used for accusations) at the vacant starting spaces by the kitchen and study. This would give those areas of the board an actual purpose. (And maybe encourage more activity in the Kitchen.) The loo could still be used like a secret passage to cross sides of the board. (Maybe you can step through it like a regular square but having to deduct an extra step - as a pit stop for using the loo...)

It's only an idea! Somebody's bound to be able to prove me wrong!

We shall see...

Colonel Mustard makes an interrogation and says that it was MR. GREEN with the LEAD PIPE in the CONSERVATORY.


The sensuous serenade playing in the Conservatory could sooth any soul to sleep...




Mr. Green pondered about, his mind brewing with troubled thoughts...



...and then did he pick up the Pipe?



"I utter an oath on Mr. Green's innocence Colonel," Mrs. White insisted, "Much like I vouched for yours."



Mr. Green is exonerated from suspicion.

MRS. WHITE, IT IS YOUR TURN.



You are in the Lounge.

You may:

-Move 5 spaces
-Take secret passage to Conservatory and suggest
-Make an interrogation

Mrs. White walks through the secret passage to the conservatory. She stoops and picks something up off the ground.

"A-ha! A peacock feather!" she exclaims. "And there is a guest here by the name of Mrs. Peacock! Coincidence? I think not!"

[Mrs. White suggests Mrs. Peacock in the Conservatory with the Candlestick]

Love that idea! There's also nothing wrong with having to spend a turn in the Loo when passing through.

Mrs. White waddles her way through the passageway...



"But then again," Mrs. White continued, "Vic never called her 'Pistol Peacock' for no reason..."






Mrs. Peacock had the Revolver

"Never trust a person who smokes Cuban cigars, my farther always said." shouted Mr. Green waving his index finger. "But if it's turkish cigars, then it's alright"

Mr. Green slips on candle wax and says.

"It was Mrs White with the Candlestick in the Conservatory"

"Except Boddy warned everyone at dinner that if anyone touched the Candlestick, it would explode!" Green shuddered, "But I still don't trust those with Cuban cigars!"



Nobody had the Candlestick.

Just to let you know, I've solved one of the elements. Not saying which one though.

Judging from the cards I gave you and the evidence thus so far, I know what you've solved.

Bragging is half the fun. I can't remember ever playing the game when people didn't announce when they know part of the solution...

You've only solved one part, Black? Because if you have, that means I've solved two parts.

(This is why one should not reveal such information.)

It just ruins the whole allure to it, in my opinion.

Part of what makes Clue great is the notion of wondering "do they know what I know?", "do they know that I know the room?" etc. When someone spouts a pointless piece of information about what they know, reality soon snaps back and the experience is weakened. It can ruin a game.

I find it a lot more rewarding when the only thing revealed is the solution and being correct gives you a much better ego boost than what it would if you were giving little hints away.

As proof shows thanks to this, subtle hints you reveal can give a player a lot more knowledge than you think to realise.

Man, sorry if I must sound like a spoil-sport. Anyway, let's let the game carry on.
