The Clue movie is an underrated gem! Tim Curry is phenomenal in it!

One other tip: keep track of what cards you showed other players by writing an "S" for "show" in their column for that card. If they ask for a combination that includes a card you've shown them before (this may be rare but still)...well, you know what to do.

Fun Fact! Our mom played cluedo with us once. She didn't know how to play the game. (this is usually a problem with her, she doesn't understand how games are played, think Mac in that one IASIP family feud parody episode, that's a perfect example). Anyway on her first turn she wanted to guess the murder, we let her do this because it didn't seem like a big deal.... and she guessed right! The murderer, the murder weapon, the location everything! She won on the first turn by pure luck! What are the chances of that? Genuinely one of the craziest things I ever saw.

I didn't follow completely. I love clue and feel I'm pretty good at it but did anyone else get lost during this video?

I loved the video, it’s really well thought out but it’s hard to understand like others have said. Could you maybe do a video playing a game using these strategies?

at 6:42 if anyone didn't understand the idea of the Fallacy here's maybe a better explanation, in the scenario shown at 6:09 we know one of peacocks cards, the numbers without crosses represent the cards that peacock may have. We know that peacock doesn't have orchid so it's much more likely she has dagger or study than any of our other numbered cards. We also know that peacock can only have 3 cards. In cases where we have overlapping numbers (e.g. 1 2) we know that there must be at least 1 card contained in both of those sets, and as we know that there are 4 overlapping sets we need the case where there is at least 1 card contained in each set so with 2 cards remaining we have two different sets to both overlap and have 1 card in each intersection, the only case where this is true is 1, 2 and 3, 4 so those must be orchid's cards.

Wish there was an example. I'm gonna have to rewatch this like 5 times to understand the number system. imo you kinda blazed through it and I didn't really get it by the time the video was over

[tomasestebanrojaslaluz]

Was waiting for your return! I teach game theory to kids and your videos have been of tremendous help. Thanks!

[Raynis]

Very cool strategies. I knew some of that, but the number system blew my mind. I don’t quite understand it completely yet. I’m going to watch the video again to see if i can understand better.

Your videos are a godsend for someone who has left their fate to luck in board games!!!

[AlomaSteele]

I thought I had Clue figured out, but never considered the fallacy scenario. Very informative. Would you be open to doing a more in depth video on fallacy alone? I think I kind of understood, but more examples would be incredible. Thanks for the upload!

just subscribed a couple weeks ago after finding your monopoly videos. i’m stoked you’re covering my favorite classic game! can’t wait to see what’s next :)

[Lotschi]

I think you could have explained your number system better.
I do it differently and had a hard time figuring your methot out 😅

[koalabear]

I won using this method although I didn't understand the end and had to watch it twice to understand the rest

To Recap the Numbers:

Write down numbers for the player that SHOWED a card. If the guess is Person X, Place X, and with weapon X, write down the number 1 in each of those spots in the column of the player showing the card. Next time that player shows a card, write down 2, etc. If no one showed any cards...well the game is over then.

ALL numbers for a player must able to be checked using their cards, if they cannot all be checked, then something is wrong (fallacy rule)...if a card with multiple numbers is checked, it counts as all of them.

If you still don't understand (someone asked for help and then deleted their comment):




basically each time you write a number for them, it's one of their cards. So if a player has numbers 1 2 3 and 4, they must all be found at some point.

But one card might be multiple - say candlestick was one of the possible 3 cards that PLAYER Y showed PLAYER X so you write 1 on PLAYER Y there. Say that candlestick was also like that for their 4th showing of a card. So PLAYER Y has a 1 and a 4 on Candlestick.

Each number must be accounted for. If the player DOES have Candlestick (they might not, but pretend you find out they DO), that's the card for 1 and 4, so you would circle it, so that you know they have that card.

Say PLAYER Y had numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. That leaves 2 and 3. Those numbers must both eventually be circled. Otherwise someone cheated or something went wrong.

So if they have only one card left that you don't know about....it must have a 2 and a 3 on it. Otherwise there would be a number not circled.

You have the best game tutorials. Earned a sub!

Ngl, it has been so long since I've played Clue that I'd have to play the game to get an understanding of the rules again to fully understand this method. Great video though, very well explained.

[tiendotexe]

Hey man, love the video. However, can you make a video for more details on the Numbering System? I couldn't find anything online. I was wondering, how do you know which number to put down for each player? If there are only 3 players, does that mean you can only have 1 2 3 on your sheet?

[jrpurdon]

This video earned you a subscriber. This is close to how I play Clue already but overall a more coherent strategy. Definitely looking forward to more strategy videos in the future.

[Shark-pjin]

Nice, I figured this out on my own by seeing the symbols on the video game version. Looked it up to confirm this. Good video😂
