It's a USA-vs-Britain thing.

Clue in North America, Cluedo in Britain and other Commonwealth countries.

Revisiting this game 3 years later, I have now heard of (and played) Catan, and it's pretty fun. I don't feel like "I hadn't lived" until I played it though.

Catan is basically a gateway boardgame, there are much better games out there but it's a good way of getting people only familiar with games like Monopoly into more involved games because it's pretty easy to learn but it shares a lot of mechanics like resource management with more complex boardgames out there like Agricola.

What we need is a Spiel des Jahres winners quiz...

Level 83

I mean, there is this one: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/1462407/boardgames-spiel-des-jahres-winners.

But I like the idea and I think I'm going to make another such quiz, but with clues like this one has (and/or maybe a redacted photo of the box, or something).

And maybe just a dozen or so of the "better known" ones like Catan, Carcassonne, Codenames, etc. I feel like esp. some of the older ones (e.g.: Drunter und Drüber) would be pretty difficult for anyone but the hardcore to get. (And perhaps Germans. I can imagine it being a much better-known game in Germany.)

It's fine for there to be a quiz aimed at that demographic (like the one I linked to) but there's room for one aimed at (slightly) more casual players as well...

In Scrabble, Bingo is slang for using all 7 tiles in the same play, gaining the player an extra 50 points. Not sure it's an official term or not, but very commonly used. Similarly, a Blackout is sometimes used when scoring a Bingo across a triple word score (rarely happens, by the by).

Clue is the nickname, but Cluedo is the full name. Would be nice to see the proper name in there as everything else seems to have the full name. Also, traditional Monopoly doesn't have "Boardwalk" or "Reading Railroad". I'm not sure what version of Monopoly they're from, though.
plattitude

Level 94
Apr 29, 2014
I'm guessing you're British, or perhaps from the Commonwealth. Cluedo is indeed the original name, but in the States and Canada, the game is named simply Clue. Also, Boardwalk and Reading Railroad were both on the 1934 gameboard which is the generally accepted 'traditional' setup. The UK/Commonwealth version wasn't produced until 1936.

You should accept "Pitch" as well on the clue for "Hearts". All of those terms are used in Pitch games.

No. Is that an Australian name for it? It has various other synomyns. I grew up in UK knowing it as Slippery Ann or Black Maria and never heard the name "Hearts" until the advent of the computer. I suggest that quizmaster should accept many alternative names for this game!

Im not from the us either ( or even a english speaking country, uk and us usually have most things in common) but we have all of them besides candyland and euchre. Many have different names though (8 out of the 20, even more I think, but in those cases the english way is used atleast as much)
