Wie spielt man Clue?
A mime game for four players.
Three players are sent outside. The host asks the audience for a place, a job and an object.
Then the first player is invited back in. The player who knows the three terms now mimes them in order. The first guesser mirrors the actions until he has guessed the place, then he shakes the player's hand and the next term, the job, is mimed, and finally the object.
Once the first guesser has also identified the object, he kills the player who mimed the object to him with it.
Now the same procedure happens between player one and player two, who is invited inside.
At the end, player two mimes the three terms to player three, who names them as soon as he has guessed them.
For the reveal (in case a term was misread), the two earlier guessing players say what they thought they saw.
Sometimes it even happens that something completely different was mimed in between, yet the right answer still appears in the end.
Variant
The players can all line up in a row. Everyone faces left. The first player thinks of a sequence of movements, for example brushing teeth. He taps his neighbour on the shoulder. The neighbour turns around and watches the first player perform the movement. Once the second player has understood what he is supposed to copy, he taps the third player on the shoulder, who turns around, and so on.
This way the game can also be played with more players and runs a bit faster than the original version.
You could also describe the game as a mime version of "Chinese whispers".
