## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is it age rated 14+?**
A: There is nothing particularly offensive to those under the age of 14 but some of the answers are based on older TV shows / movies so probably age rated based on the demographics of the content.

**Q: Is it still fun with three players?**
A: Yes we played with only three players and it is very funny. My 12 yr old and 15 yr old enjoyed it

**Q: What do you get in the box? £24 seems an awful lot for what appears to amount to two decks of cards and two dice.**
A: Basically you're paying for the fact each card has a bunch of options that correlate to all possible dice rolls. As with many thing the *actual* contents arent the value, it's the fun it brings. Worth 24 imo.

**Q: How long does it roughly take to play? Cludo time or monopoly time?**
A: Not long. Like Cluedo.  Its a pretty good game for us. My children are 14
