Dark Shadows Clue Game

[Bobubas]

Seeing Mr. Bone's wonderful concept for a Dark Shadows version of Monopoly made me think of the Dark Shadows version of the board game Clue that I created back in 1998 for my friends and I to play on our trips. Several of you have probably already seen it, but for the newbies who haven't, Mr. Juggins has photos of the game uploaded on his fantastic DS FAQ site. A direct link to the page can be found below.

If memory serves me correct, the very first solution to a played game was: Victoria Winters on the Landing with the knife.

Ah, happy days...  Bob and I played the DS Clue game once and much fun was had -- I even think I won...

[waits to be told that I didn't]

You're very creative, Bobubas, and your game is very impressive.  

Now how many other games are there to which we can give a DS twist?

Prof Stokes? I thought I read you were going on vacation? If you're back, did you have a good time?

Maybe I'm trippin'.....

But I thought Bobubas did it in in the Drawing Room, by the bar, with the swizzel stick.  

But I could be wrong...... [/color]

Great game Bob!

I can definitely see playing that game during that fine line between Saturday night and Sunday morning at the Fest, drinks and swizzle sticks and all!

WOW what good fun!!!!  Did you make that yourself?  How did you come up with the idea?   Wish I could be as creative.       :-/

[Craig_Slocum]

I don't remember ever playing Clue, but I would definitely play the Dark Shadows version. Great idea Bob!

Prof Stokes? I thought I read you were going on vacation? If you're back, did you have a good time?

No, Patti, my last vacation was in March.  Perhaps you read my reply to Luciaphil's post about her upcoming vacation?

Thank you for thinking of me.

And I fondly remember your vacation in March, ProfStokes. It was good seeing you again and meeting your family!  

[Cassandra]

What a great game! I wish these DS games were on the market, I'd buy them in an instant! So creative!

LOL What about "Guess Who"?? There are certainly enough characters.....the questions would be really easy, though.....like "Is your person a NB character?" Well that eliminates everyone but 7 or 8. And then "Did she go insane?" Well that's another 4 down, so you've got Carolyn and Melanie and Millicent.......LOL so maybe that wouldn't work, but.....there's enough dif chars!!

My friend Mary (BuzzH on this board if she ever decides to post) was the one who suggested that I make the game. I bring it along on get togethers like the one Stuart(who I'm not sure if he won a game or not )  alluded to in his post above. In that instance we had gathered together at Fire Island in anticipation of the Frid Show on Long Island in Nov. of 1998. I did make a travel versionof the game so that the original board and cards would not get worn out from over use. I will probably find room for it ( and my swizzle sticks Minja  ) in my suitcase prior to leaving for the fest in L.A. , so maybe a late night game that Saturday is indeed in order.    Bob
