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.

Looks good and if you ever want to replace the cardboard player counters then Hasslefree have the perfect minis for 5 of them :)
ReplyDeleteI have those! And Reaper has a figure that will work quite nicely for Mrs white.
DeleteSettle a debate my family and I are having.. how do you interpret each of the personality cards? For example, the one that gives you an extra rumor on your turn; for the second rumor can you use any room or do you still have to use the room that you ate in? And for the one that allows you to make a rumor using a room you’re not in.. can you use if before you’ve moved, while still in a room you’ve made a rumor in lady turn, then roll and go into another room and make another rumor. Or do you have to roll and move first because you can’t make a rumor from a room you made a rumor in last turn?
ReplyDeleteWhich version of Clue are the personalities with rumors? I know there are versions with abilities attached to the personalities but there are so many versions I need the title to help you. There are at least 30 editions running from the original 1949 in the half box with the separate board up to a 3D Star Wars edition. I definitely need to know which one you are playing.
