Good solid 2 player game. Plays quick with good strategy.

I still love this game and skill will win 75% of games. You just need to be aware if it gets out of hand early. Like one player gets enough resources to price you out of most cards. Maybe start over and play best two out of three. If both players know the game you can play in a half hour.

Having the cards in front and selecting based on what you give the other person access to makes the strategy deeper. And building wonders is vital especially with extra turns. Which can then be used offensively or defensively. Which makes for interesting decisions too.

Great game for head to head battles.

A great themed version

Cluedo isn't a game for everyone, but if you love Sherlock and mystery games then I'd highly recommend this. Although it's not quite on par with the classic original, it's a great addition.

Theme-wise, Sherlock is obviously a no brainer when it comes to a murder mystery game. It features all of your favourite characters from the show and 9 recognisable and memorable locations from across the series. The weapons stay as standard, which is actually fairly clever to at least keep something in line with the original edition. Even the 'who killed Moriarty' theme is in keeping with the show.

My only issue with this, and in fact every version of Cluedo, is that contrary to the instructions playing it with 2 people is impossible. It's far too easy and boring and really needs more players to make it more exciting.
