Some questions about this game

[amelie]

First I just want to say that I love Clue! It was my favorite board game growing up!
But after some very poor Steam verisions of beloved games (I'm lookin at you Catan ) I have a couple of questions about this game.

1. Is the Season Pass just cosmetics, or will it start to split the multi-player community with diffrent maps?

2. Will the Season Pass include everything that is avable as in-app purcheses, and if not what will the full game cost be in the end?

3. How many people can play in one game?

4. Will you be able to play Hotseat multiplayer or is it online only?

5. How good is the single player? Does the AI just cheet to win?

6. Are there any plans to add Achievments in the future?

From my bit of playing:

1. The season pass stuff is cosmetic, and all of the alternate boards are effectively reskins. This actually means that in a multiplayer game, you may be playing on the default board while another player is using the classic board and the third player could be using the Hollywood Board. Character selection is also independent of the board chosen. This was specifically confirmed elsewhere on this board.

2. The Season Pass only includes the various skins and whatnot. The "Hint cards" are excluded from it. Said hint cards are consumable items, though. (On a related note, Hint Card usage is limited in online games - only 3 hint cards can be used by a player in a game, and they can't use the same hint card effect twice in a game)

3. Online games (except potentially "Play with Friends"?) seem to be either 3-player or 6-player. Presmuably this is to prevent one player from getting a card advantage (in 3-player games, each player has 6 cards, in a 6 player game, each has 3 cards. In 4- or 5-player games, some players will have one more card than others).

4. No hotseat multiplayer (I wish there was, but there's not any yet).

5. I've gotten some absurdly lucky opening suggestions (including one where I basically got 2 out of 3 cards right) and the AI tends to not catch on to trends. That said, I tend to actively figure out what cards the other players could have shown for a given suggestion, which is a tactic most players don't realize is possible. (I do wish we could see the notepads of the AI players and, for online games, other players at the end of the game)

Granted, it seems like the difficulty setting might be bugged at the moment - I was up against 5 Hard AI, but on the end-of-game screen after I won, it said the difficulty was Easy.

6. I don't know. It's on Android, so if it uses Google Play there, I see no reason why they couldn't implement achievements on both Android and PC. But I'm not on the dev team.

From what I heard they do plan on adding achievements at a later date along with being able to have your Steam User name show up in the upper left hand corner instead of whats there now. No time frame was given just that a future update should have achievements.

Thanks for the answers Kitsune Zeta! Going to have to get it once I have some money.
