CLICK ON THE THUMBNAILS TO OPEN THE LARGER PICTURE
This is the Disney version of CLUEDO Junior from Italy and it's certainly an interesting set. The board is great but it has one drawback, it takes a good ten minutes to set it up and unless you have somewhere to store it as it stands it is a pain to have to set it up each time. Each room has four holes round the edge and you have to push through blue studs that hold the room walls in place. There are also doorways so you can move your players into the rooms. The safe even has a circular door. The squares are yellow except by the room doors where they are grey. There may be some other significance of this apart from showing the doorways which hopefully will become apparent after I finish translating the rule book!
This time there are just six rooms. The Cassaforte (Safe), Studio (Study), Cucina (Kitchen), Segreteria (Secretariat), Stanza da Letto (Bedroom) & Palestra (Arena). The Arena is actually a gym but I have taken all translations from a language translation site.
I have started to try and translate the rule book using the translation site but there are problems as the idea of the game is translated as "To discover the personage that it has stolen the 1 used method in order not to enter in the warehouse and the room in which the currency at the moment of the theft was found!!!!!" Now, the game actually features Uncle Paperone who I believe is Donald Duck's Uncle Scrooge McDuck and it concerns a break in at his Luxury Mansion. So, the object of the game appears to be to find out who has broken in, the item used to break in and the room the theft was discovered in.
There are only four suspects this time. Amelia who appears to be an evil relative of Donald Duck, Bassotti that translates as Smallish though the picture is definitely The Beagle Boys from the Scrooge McDuck comics, Gambadilegno which translates as ... Gambadilegno so I guess this is a proper name & Macchia Nera who translates as Black Spot.
There are five different items that can be used to break into the Mansion. Aspirapolvere Volante that hilariously translates as Flying Vacuum Cleaner, Chiave Falsa which is a false key, Elicottero which is a Helicopter, Grimaldello which, unfortunately, translates as Grimaldello and the picture doesn't really give me any clue & finally a Tunnel which needs no translation at all!
There are four playing pieces featuring Donald Duck and, I guess, his three nephews Huey, Louie and Dewey.
So, unless I find any differences when I have translated all of the rule book, the game proceeds as normal taking one card from each deck into the solution envelope and moving round the board making accusations.
A fun and unusual version.
