Hasbro’s Star Wars Clue is the classic Clue game with a twist! In this version of clue, you are not trying to figure out who committed murder with what weapon and in which room. In Star Wars Clue, you need to figure out which planet Darth Vader plans to destroy next, which room the Death Star plans are hidden in, and which vehicle is the correct escape vehicle. As in the original Clue, the cards with the correct answers to these questions are placed in the “mission” folder before beginning the game. The first player to correctly guess all three wins the game!
Star Wars Clue is played on a 3D Death Star replica two level game board. The board is made of sturdy cardboard. The board needs to be assemblied each time you play. Once you figure out how to assembly the board and fit it together securely (this is not hard, you just need to follow the directions), the board is quite sturdy. You can play as one of the Star Wars characters: Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca, R2-D2, or C-3PO. The game is basically played the same as the original Clue, with a few exceptions. In this version, if your character is stuck in the hallway during your turn, you must draw a card that will direct you what to do next or offer you a help within the game. The cards can send you to the Dentention Center where you will need to wait to be rescued, send you directly to a specific room or give you a free chance to question another player. These cards add a little more dimension to the game.
Star wars Clue comes with 6 Star Wars character pawns, 5-piece cardboard gameboard (bottom level, back wall, 2 supporting walls, top level), mission notepad, die, 6 vehicle tokens, 6 planet tokens, mission folder, 21 Clue cards (red deck), 19 corridor cards (black deck), and game guide. The game is for three to six players and recommended for ages 8 and up. It retails for around $25. You can buy it from Amazon at this link. We’ve been playing this every Friday Night game night and have been having a blast with it! Have fun saving the Galaxy from destruction by the Empire!
