CLUE: Dungeons & Dragons is a board game released in 2019 for 2–6 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. Its main mechanics are Point to Point Movement, Memory, and Grid Movement.
An Infernal Puzzle Box, delivered by a Hellrider of Elturel, has been stolen from the party of adventurers. Determined to reclaim their box of infernal secrets, one of Zariel's minions has slain and secretly replaced an adventurer, unbeknownst to the rest of the members. In CLUE: Dungeons & Dragons, it's up to you to determine WHO has been replaced by a devil in disguise, WHAT weapon was used in the execution, and WHERE in the Forgotten Realms the Infernal box could be hidden. —description from the publisher
CLUE: Dungeons & Dragons supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for CLUE: Dungeons & Dragons is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists CLUE: Dungeons & Dragons for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
CLUE: Dungeons & Dragons has a complexity rating of 1.7 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
