CLUE Classic is another conversion of the classic board game Clue/Cluedo. Like in the original, three cards are randomly selected showing the murderer, the weapon and the room where the crime happened. The objective is to deduct these cards by moving between rooms, making accusations and analysing the information gathered. The game only supports computer adversaries (up to 5). The interface has a notebook where the clues and cards status can be stored. Badges are awarded for special achievements like solving the case in less than 10 turns or completing a number of cases.
The game was inspired by the artwork in the 2002/2003 Classic Detective Game version, featuring the original six characters, weapons, and nine original rooms.
BoardGameBeast rated the game 4 out of 5 stars, describing it as "a truly perfect rendition of the classic English board game [with] great graphics and creepy atmosphere". It criticised the lack of multiplayer option, and the fact that Hasbro stopped download editions. [3] Gamezebo rated the game 4 stars out of 5, saying the good included "animations and sound effects; faithfully reproduces tabletop edition's mechanics; charm and personality; eliminates much of the real game's hands-on busywork", and the bad included "no head-to-head multiplayer; can get repetitive; need to sit through canned animations".

Monopoly is a multi-player economics-themed board game. In the game, players roll two dice to move around the game board, buying and trading properties and developing them with houses and hotels. Players collect rent from their opponents, aiming to drive them into bankruptcy. Money can also be gained or lost through Chance and Community Chest cards and tax squares. Players receive a stipend every time they pass "Go" and can end up in jail, from which they cannot move until they have met one of three conditions. House rules, hundreds of different editions, many spin-offs, and related media exist. Monopoly has become a part of international popular culture, having been licensed locally in more than 103 countries and printed in more than 37 languages. As of 2015, it was estimated that the game had sold 275 million copies worldwide.
Risk is a strategy board game of diplomacy, conflict and conquest for two to six players. The standard version is played on a board depicting a political map of the world, divided into forty-two territories, which are grouped into six continents. Turns rotate among players who control armies of playing pieces with which they attempt to capture territories from other players, with results determined by dice rolls. Players may form and dissolve alliances during the course of the game. The goal of the game is to occupy every territory on the board and, in doing so, eliminate the other players. The game can be lengthy, requiring several hours to multiple days to finish. European versions are structured so that each player has a limited "secret mission" objective that shortens the game.
