Acquisition - Clue "It" Edition (based on the Stephen King book and mini series)

Now this was long time coming, probably one of the scariest mini series ever produced. It certainly deserves its own clue variation! This was the other Christmas release for 2019 that I picked up. Still thinking about the other ones, they might be a bit harder to find as the year goes forward. These special editions seem to disappear pretty fast.

This Hasbro edition comes in the current standard sized box with the smaller square board. Playing pieces are cardboard and placed in plastic stands. The six weapons are pewter which seems to have become a standard in the current Clue variations. As a Type II game it comes with the intrigue deck, with this deck the bad cards are the red balloons. First seven are no effect but bad things happen with #8! The board is square but its one of the compressed versions so not as many squares to move through. 

If you are Stephen King fan this one is probably worth picking up!




The compressed board makes for a bit faster games, less movement squares between locations.
