Pros
Pro Deep
A lot of aspects, great asymmetric setup with 14 different but reasonably balanced races.
Pro Had a movie made out of it
There is a Hollywood movie licensed from the game Clue called Clue. It stars Tim Curry and is frankly fantastic. Go and watch it if you have not already.
Pro Worthwhile lessons for kids to learn
Through the playing of the game Clue children can potentially learn that criminals always get caught for cimes commited as well as learn the process of elimination.
Pro Different editions
There are three different editions to choose from, CLUE THE CLASSIC MYSTERY GAME, CLUE GAME 2013 EDITION
and CLUE GAME.
Cons
Con Far too abstract to have any value as a fantasy board game. Could be any worker placement game with any theme
Con 2013 edition has new rules and is too easy
Stay away from the 2013 edition as the board has been changed to where all rooms can be reached in a single dice roll (way too easy) as well as rules have been tweaked so more of the cards are known from the beginning (again, making the game too easy). Last but not least the character names have been changed to make them more "hip".
