How to Play Clue | Official Rules

Components

  • Clue Game Board which shows 9 rooms
  • 6 colored tokens, each representing one of the suspects: Colonel Mustard (yellow), Miss Scarlet (red), Professor Plum (purple), Mr. Green (green), Mrs. White (white) and Mrs. Peacock (blue).
  • 6 miniature weapons: Rope, Lead Pipe, Knife, Wrench, Candlestick, Revolver
  • Pack of cards: 1 card for each of the 6 Suspects, 6 Weapons and 9 Rooms
  • Note books
  • Case File Confidential envelope
  • One die

Setup

  • Take that Suspect token and place it on the assigned starting space.

    If fewer than 6 are playing, be sure to place the remaining tokens onto the appropriate names because they might be involved in the crime!

  • Place each of the weapons ad random in a room.

  • Sort the cards by type into three groups: Suspects, Rooms and Weapons.

    Shuffle each group face-down, draw one card from each group and slide them into the "Case File Confidential" envelope. Place it onto the "X" in the center of the board.

  • Shuffle the three piles of remaining cards together and deal them face down clockwise around the table.

  • If you wish, check out the cards that are in your hand. You can also cross them off in your notebook as possibility.
