NOTE: I put this review on the US version of this product but thought I would put it here also since it is now available in the UK (at the time it was only available to be bought from the US) and this way more people could see the review. I thought I would say that I am unaware of any differences between the UK version and the US version. They look exactly the same with the exception of the US version being called 'Clue'. Because I got the US version I cannot say for sure if there is a printing error or not in the UK version but as far as I know, there isn't. I haven't stumbled across it. Now on to my actual review..First off, I want to say that if you're not a fan of The Big Bang Theory then this game isn't really going to do much for you.I rated this purely as a hardcore fan of the show.I make my own board games at home. A lot of which are Cluedo variants such as this because I am a big board game fan but there's only so many times Colonel Mustard can kill the Dr with a Candlestick in the Library before you get bored. I had previously made a version of Big Bang Cluedo as I was unaware this was available. Luckily I managed to purchase this from the States at a relatively cheap price.Anyways, on to the product in hand...Its quite clear that the theme of this game is based around the show and you are paying mostly for a variation of the original game. If you're expecting anything ground breaking then I doubt this will satisfy your needs but in my opinion it is a must have for any Big Bang fan.All your favourites are there; Leonard, Penny, Howard, Raj, Amy, Bernadette and Sheldon. Although Sheldon is not a playable character as the theme is based around him. The first thing you'll notice is the characters are cartoon forms of themselves. Some would think this is a negative but for me, its a positive as this game is not supposed to be taken seriously and the cartoons are actually pretty accurate!Although the game is first and foremost a palette swap for the original it does introduce some new features such as a new board layout. All characters start in the centre of the board this time around too, which is a cool idea but it does kind of make every characters tactic the same in a way as you can go in any direction right from the off but I definitely admire the effort put in to actually make this play a little differently. Another addition is Sheldon cards which you pick up after landing on a certain space on the board which will give you some kind of advantage.. These cards are particularly nice because they also contain 'Sheldon-like' phrases on them, a nice touch. The game also includes a new variation of playing with just 2 players to make the game a little longer for those playing as a duo, which again is nice as you could use the idea for other versions of Cluedo!All the characters have an ability (Known as powers) that they can use once per game, which makes each character play slightly differently, though not much. I would like to point out that if you are playing 2 player you will probably have to come up with your own rule for Penny as hers requires at least 3 players but its simple enough to do. (My advice here is to allow Penny to re-roll her dice score once per game or allow her to keep silent (for one time) when the other player starts a rumour, though whatever you choose, it won't make much difference.)On to the overall 'Big Bang' feel, it really is quite nice. The board features cartoon versions of the locations seen on the show. Penny's Living Room, Sheldon's Bedroom, The Laundry Room, The Stairwell, they're all there and they each look like they do in the show, albeit like a cartoon. There is no 'weapons' in the game as nobody dies, instead one of the characters has tampered with one of Sheldon's beloved belongings.. And they actually are Sheldon's belongings. Things he has on the show such as the Shelbot and his beloved Equation Board. So you do feel the theme when you're playing the game.Now with the Family Guy Clue(do), I had problems with putting the characters in their stands and one of them actually snapped a little bit because the characters were too big for its stand but I had no problems at all with this. It was in with ease. The cards are probably not the best quality but they're not bad either just be careful with them of course.Overall, you'd have to be a fan to get real enjoyment out of this. That isn't to say you couldn't play it and find it enjoyable but certainly more so if you're a fan of it. Its really simple to understand the rules. The set up is fast and it brings humour in its own right also. Its not the best game I've ever played but if you're a fan of TBBT you should definitely buy this and give it a try!

Cluedo is classic game of logical deduction with friends and family. But not only is the Big Bang Theory theme fun and different, the redesign tweaks really help the game have a faster pace. It is rare that you make a move and nothing comes out of it. If you do not end up in a room to make an accusation, then you can land on a Sheldon Space. This usually benefits you by providing another clue in different ways.The one thing that I would improve upon is the player piece design. Each character is only facing one side, so that most often you cannot tell which piece you are looking at. Simply making the plastic base of the piece match the colour of the character.That would help A LOT.Overall though a flawless update to a classic.

I'm not normally a fan of board games - in fact I normally hate them with a passion - however I love The Big Bang Theory so I was forced to buy this by my other half who is determined to make me like them.I know some reviewers have mentioned pieces missing and misprints, but the one that I received was fine and all as it should be.Essentially it is the same Cluedo that everybody knows, but, rather obviously, Big Bang Themed. The suspects are the main characters of the show, the rooms are familiar places from the show, and the weapons are in fact crimes against Sheldon.Whilst I still haven't been won over completely,I do quite enjoy a couple of rounds of this every now and then - small steps!

I bought this as a gift but we opened it early. Cluedo has never been one of this games that i really got into but with this twist it is now great fun.I noticed like the previous reviewer that the names of the rooms were missing. I contacted the manufacturer and they are sending me a new board. Apparently there were a few games that had this error. Who knows, they may be worth a few quid in years to come.Anyway, it is a great twist on the original and a must for all BBT fans

You have to work out who has upset Sheldon, how and where. A whodunit but no murder. With various locations from TBBT and all the main actors as protagonists this is a fun twist on a classic boardgame. Can be played using either the classic rules or the newer ones.

This board game is perfect for any fans of cluedo and the Big Bang theory. My son is both and absolutely loves this. Great for cold winter nights in when it's too cold to go outside. Basic rules as in any cluedo game

Fun game. Always liked Cluedo, but with this version we get a funny twist (instead of murders we have to solve mischievous acts).Also the quality of the material is good, looks like it will last long

I disliked that I went to play the game but was missing pieces but when I contacted the actual game company who bent over backwards for me I now have all the parts plus a little extra Thank you ?

Only downfall to this game is I keep losing. Great fun for all the family and even better when you've had slightly too much alcohol and start accusing the others off killing people with a bazinga

14.1.2021

17.1.2014

Lots of hours of fun. Great the fact that you can personalize it. We choose it to practice english and 'cause we love Big Bang Theory characters.

15.4.2014

But the game is missing a couple of dimensions to it, which spoiled our enjoyment. I think this is a manufacturing issue thought :(

I expect this to be good but as I bought it as a Christmas present I have no personal knowledge of it although it looks good.
