My girlfriend picked that up last year. We've only played it once, but it's pretty cool. Although I have to admit that a FR version would be pretty cool. "Drizzt, with the falcion, in the kitchen".
DM: "Roll 3d6"
Player 1: [player rolls] "Right, so one plus one plus two plus one--"
Player 2: "No, remember, you have a +2 bonus to Strength, so that's one plus two plus one plus one."

At Gen Con a couple of years back when they first introduced the D&D Clue, they had a giant board and actors to move around the board. There was a big line to play, but it was cool to watch. Has anyone seen that demonstration since?
I picked this game up a while back. It's alot of fun. My wife loves it! And she doesn't roleplay at all.
The really cool part is that you get to fight monsters for some magic items to help you in the game. The combat is really simplistic though. You roll a d6 and try to beat a number which depends on what monster card you picked.
