House rule at my house: you must speak in character, preferably with an accent. Miss Scarlett & Colonel Mustard have southern accents in my head, & everybody else sounds vaguely British. I am always Mrs. Peacock, who is something of a prude & a raging alcoholic.

This is utterly ridiculous. Everyone knows that Colonel Mustard speaks with a stiff upper lip British accent and served in India suppressing local uprisings.

WRONG! 
Can’t make it out of turn. I checked last time I played. Must be your turn, but can be after your suggestion - before next player rolls.

Yeah, basically I got into a room on my first roll, made a suggestion, nobody had any of the clues I asked for, so I made an accusation and was correct.
Of course, since nobody else got a turn, we decided to play another game and I got my butt whupped on that one.
My older sister is a professional illustrator. (She’s really quite good. Here’sa book she did.) When she was in her 20’s she got annoyed at the poor quality of the art on the cards in our Clue set. So she decided to make her own. She redrew all the characters, weapons, and rooms in colored pencil and sprayed them with with fixative to keep them from smearing. And, for fun, she created a set of “victim” cards as well. The idea was that the body was so badly mutilated that it couldn’t be immediately identified. The victims were all members of our family, including our pet dachshund Freddy.

We rolled to see who would go first. I thought that was actually in the instructions.

Nope. Per the official rules Miss Scarlet goes first, then the play goes clockwise.
Maybe in your house rules, but the official rules state that an accusation must be done on your turn, must be stated as an accusation but can be done after a suggestion.

Do you still have those cards? I’d love to see scans of them.

My sister has them. I don’t think she has a scanner unfortunately, and we live on opposite sides of the country.
To speed up the game we roll two dice at once. Thus you are seldom trapped between rooms and a lot more happens on each round.

Well we would murder the babysitter and then we’d all run around the house finding clues to frame someone else.

Oh, you wacky Adams kids…
[QUOTE=Hoopy Frood]
You can make an accusation anytime you want. Even out of turn.

I suggest that you do not know where your towel is.
