Clueverge is a board game released in 2023 for 1–4 players, 10–30 minutes per game, and ages 13 and up. It was designed by Tomoki Motohashi and its main mechanics are Cooperative Game and Solo / Solitaire Game.
Clueverge is a competitive game for 2-4 players, where players take on the role of detectives and conduct investigations into a murder case. From gradually revealed evidence and suspects, try to identify the True Culprit before anyone else! The “Investigation Cards” and “Crime Scene Cards” are arranged in a 4x4 grid. Each card contains hidden information about “Suspects”, “Weapons”, “Motives”, and “Clues”. However, due to “False Testimony”, some cards may contain misleading information. Additionally, some of “the Suspects” may have “Alibis”. Who among these cards is the True Culprit? Or perhaps the True Culprit has already “Fled the country”? This game also includes a “Cooperative Play Mode” and a “Solo Play Mode”. —description from the designer
Clueverge supports 1–4 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 Clueverge is 10–30 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 Clueverge for ages 13 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.
Clueverge has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
