local?

[Apex Trill]

is it local play too? because it doesnt say it is... why would you not specify that?

[Starkaddr]

No, I'm afraid the game does not support local multiplayer, as in pass-and-play or hot-seat.

It does support multiplayer over LAN, i.e. you need at least 2 separate devices.

[Apex Trill]

honestly.... that makes zero sense... why even bother making this game if youre not gonna make it local...

[Apex Trill]

oh right.. so you can make everyone pay for the game 3 or 4 times to be able to play together at home. makes sense

I'm sorry that you're disappointed, but this is a design decision rather than a business decision:

Will you add a hotseat mode?

It’s unlikely. We don’t think that Clue/Cluedo is a good fit for this type of play mode, because to play well you need to be taking notes and making inferences on every single turn, not just your own (see our strategy guide). Supporting a game of Clue/Cluedo in this kind of mode would mean that for each single turn, every player needs a chance to see the suggestion/response and make their own notes. In a 6 player game, that means 36 seat-swaps per round, and hundreds of seat-swaps per game! There are also issues caused by the necessity for private information - players would have to look away from the shared screen when it is not their turn, so as not to see the Clue Sheets of other players. For these reasons, we think hotseat mode would be a drawn out and unsatisfying experience.

does it not work in real life? the board game is local is it not? but i see your point now... very disapointing though

greedy bast@ards 100%.
They turned a board game into a solo video game...Nice try, losers !

[Apex Trill]

design rather than business.... thats a dumb ass design then

[Apex Trill]

i wouldve purchased if it was local... wonder how many sales you lost because of that

Get Jackbox, multiple fun games in each version that all support local multiplayer. They were smart enough to create a simple app you can get on your phone to resole the complexity( not that difficult lol) of local multiplayer and keeping the games fun. I believe 5 in total are out on steam, all on sale currently.

But...guess what: the app, with the catchy name Clue Cluesheet Companion is broken since weeks.
