WS Game Company Clue Luxury Edition Board Game with Wood Cabinet

My wife has been asking for a classic clue game for years. I surprised her with this and she loves it. I’ve been reading a lot of other reviews and, from what I gather, there may be some different or inferior sets out there. Ours was just about flawless. To address complaints I saw by others:The case may not be real wood, but darned if I can tell. It’s solid, hefty as heck, and has a rich, warm finish. Nice sturdy feet. Does not wobble as one reviewer said. It has chunky solid brass plates on each end of the case with the Clue font on them. Also, real glass that seems thick and safe. (Another review claimed it was not real glass).The pieces are great. They have a nice heft and solid metal bases that make a nice “clack” when set on the glass. So what if the piece inside the base is plastic? How else would you get the colors right? We love the way they feel and look.The details and colors (one review said there was no color) in the rooms are terrific. I saw one complaint that said they are just paper. True, but they are precision cut and folded pieces with tons of detail. Also each room does have a solid detailed 3D piece of furniture in it. They’re sort of mesmerizing.The weapons look and feel great. They’re all metal with bright gold finish and oversized slightly from the original game. The only piece I wasn’t crazy about was the lead pipe. It looked a little like a pasta noodle instead of a weapon (sorry I’m a stickler when it comes to bludgeons).The cards are nice stock with fun, classic pictures on them. All the pieces store a nice faux leather textured cardboard box. Some folks complained that there was no storage drawer. I admit, that would be a pretty nice feature.OK now the issue: on our set two of the room interiors do not match the label on the board. The kitchen and lounge are switched. Maybe just an freak defect? Either way, we’re quirky people so we like it and we’re not sending it back. But Hasbro might want to look into that. I’ll post a picture on their Twitter account.Now about the cost: I ordered with a Prime trial and signed up for Amazon credit so I ended up paying $150. Expensive? Yeah, I guess so for a board game. This is a luxury item that no one needs in order to play Clue. But it’s also sort of an heirloom thing that really looks nice in the house and makes playing seem special.

This edition is really great. If you're considering it, you must really love CLUE or have a special connection to it because it isn't cheap. The pawns are a little lack luster but they have a good weight to them. The rooms are recessed, decorated with at least one 3D element, and topped off with a glass top. While the room walls appear to be stickers, it's still a lot of fun looking at all the details. The cards are also high quality with great illustrations and a gold leaf back. If you love CLUE and you've got money to blow on something frivolous, you could do worse than this game. However, if you're considering this as a gift for a kid, I wouldn't bother.

Just beautiful and looks just like the photos. Very high quality. So much so I am now looking for a game table to showcase it on! Only nit, it's weird that the box with all the components is too big to slide under the table. That's a small miss. Also beautifully packaged in a gorgeous box. Makes a perfect gift.

It was a lot bigger than I expected and way more fancy than anticipated. Worth the purchase. 👌🏼

Wonderful detail. Very large. Absolutely a must for any serious Clue fan.

Very nice! This was an anniversary present for us and we are thrilled with it. It is truly a classic and family treasure for generations to come. The only thing, however, is that it had been years since we had last played Clue and we had forgotten you must have at least 3 people in order to play this fun game. We had a quiet, romantic weekend for just the two of us planned and were so excited about playing lots of Clue during our few days of peace and quiet. Needless to say, we enjoyed a hearty laugh together when the rules quicklyl reminded us that you need at least 3 to play. That's the bad news...the good is that we found some other "fun" things to do with our "Clueless" time together so it ended up a great weekend after all...by the way, anyone for a game of Clue - we're still looking for #3! :-)

The board itself is exquisite - no complaints there.However, the dice, weapons and character pieces are a little basic, which is a shame considering how excellent the board is, and for the price. For this reason it loses a star.For anyone who loves this board game - or the amazing movie adaptation - this is a must.

I receive my deluxe clue game today and it’s super good quality with awesome details!! A++
