Acquisition - Clue "Scooby Doo" Edition (3rd)

Christmas time is always seems to bring out new Clue variations. I counted 7 this past Christmas Season. Five of those will have to wait, for this post we will talk about everything Scooby!

The first edition of Scooby Doo was one of the first variations of the game that I became aware of and must have been published in the early 2000s. First edition comes in the long box with the larger board and featured pewter characters and weapons. It uses the standard Clue rules.

The second edition was stuffed into a small box, just big enough to fit the board itself along with the pieces underneath. It also featured the same pewter characters and weapons. It also uses the standard Clue rules.

Third edition, from Hasbro, is a bit of a different dog. It is in the current standard box with the reduced sized and square board. The pewter characters have been replaced with the current generation of cardboard cutouts and clear plastic stands. This edition uses the Type II rules; each character has a power usable once per games, in addition there are "?" on the board that allow a player to draw from the intrigue deck. The intrigue deck allows players to do different things but also includes monster cards. The first seven monster cards don't have any affect but the player the draws the eighth monster card is out of the game and the monsters are shuffled back into the deck.

The Scooby Doo edition of the board is the same as the first two editions with the edition of "?".

The components coming right out of the box

The weapons, same as in the first two editions.

Personality cards with power on the back


Two decks, the clue deck and the intrigue deck

Room Cards, same as in the first two editions.

The character cards, with Mrs White to round out to six. Same group as in the first two editions

The weapons, same as in the first two editions

The intrigue cards, with eight of our favorite monsters. I wonder why they didn't use Scooby Snacks?  Seems like a lost opportunity.
