It is funny. Since
the original Nightmare before Christmas came out, I have just adored the look
of the film. The visuals are just
stunning. I can honestly say, I have
always had a thing for stop motion animation.
Just the idea that someone had to painstakingly capture each movement
frame by frame is amazing. Not to
mention the design of the sets and characters on display in TNBC. Thankfully, those sights are not lost in this
game. All of the magic and splendor and
darkness from the film are represented here, and I love it!
Plus, what could be a more appropriate place for a creepy
game of the classic board game Clue than a Tim Burton designed world. If you’ll remember from the film, the
Halloween world people actually revel in creepiness! So, no better place for a who done it than
TNBC!
Another thing I love about this version of Clue, is that I
am always searching for themed activities around holidays. It is one thing to play a regular game of monopoly
on a holiday. It is then next level
thinking and event planning to play a creepy game like Clue on Halloween, but
then it is right on the money homerun territory to play a creepy game that is
set in Halloween town on Halloween. It
is perfect for the holiday! Plus, did
you know that when the film was originally released, it was hoped that it would
be such a smash success that it would play from Halloween all the way through
Christmas? Well, I am happy to say that
this version of Clue helps you to do just that.
As I make plans for Christmas activities I can do with my family
throughout the season, you can bet that TNBC Clue is at the top of the list.
All in all, Clue is already a great game. Every time I play it, I cannot believe how
well the game holds up for adults and children.
But, when you add a great holiday theme on to a great game, we have a
recipe for a new holiday tradition at our home.
The Nightmare Before Christmas Clue is a winner at our house!
