Actually, the film has been licensed for an insane amount of merchandise, but let’s just focus on board games for right now. The remaining “Rumor” cards (or the remaining “Suspect”, “Item”, and “Location” cards”) are then shuffled and dealt face-down to the players so that each has an equal number of cards at the start of the round of play. If you were the player implicated in the Rumor AND your game piece was moved into another room, you may draw an Intrigue card for your troubles.

Clue: The Nightmare Before Christmas Edition transports you to twisted world of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Among those game releases were a card game, a film-themed version of Monopoly, and even a themed version of Parker Brother’s (now Hasbro’s) legendary game of sleuthing, Clue. While younger players should easily pick up the rules of gameplay, the process of deducing the 3 “Key Items” involved in the crime (the character, the location, and the weapon) may be a task the first few rounds of play.However, if a player chooses to use a Secret Passage for their turn, they do not roll the dice that turn. The Suspect piece and Item token remain where you moved them and play moves to the player on your left. These “bonus moves” include Oogie’s ability to roll twice on a turn, Sally’s ability to look at a Rumor card that was just shown to a different player, Dr. Sandy Claws has been kidnapped and it’s up to you to solve the mystery of who kidnapped him, what item was used, and where he was hidden in time to save Christmas!

These “additional” rules are added via Personality Cards, which present a different one-time “extra move” or advantage depending on which one of the various characters you choose to play as.

Starting with the player to your immediate left, each player will show you (and only you) a card of either the Suspect, Item, or Location mentioned in your “Rumor”, if they are holding one of those cards. The game was released by USAopoly in 2016 in a standard-release crimson boxed version, as well as a Hot Topic-exclusive Black Box variant.Join Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King, and Sally as they try to unravel the mysterious disappearance of Christmas Town’s beloved “Sandy Claws”, aka Santa Claus. However, you will be forced to continue gameplay from the room in which you were moved, unless moved out of the room by the Intrigue card. Otherwise, the only real difference here from the game that you’ve presumably played dozens of times is the theme.

The Classic Mystery Board Game sees you explore Halloween Town to find clues and solve the frightful mystery of the missing Sandy Claws!
