How do you play the board game clue?

   If the current player draws another player's piece into the room (by involving that piece in a suggestion), this might in fact help the owner of the piece by eliminating his need to throw dice to move his own piece there.
   
   Conversely, if one player apparently wants to go to a certain room, other players can thwart him by pulling his piece to other rooms.
   
   If no one gives a card on a suggestion, that means either that particular player guessed one card correctly, guessed two cards correctly, guessed three cards correctly or wants to confuse his opponents by suggesting three of his own cards.
   
   If some player is doing elimination too transparently (by, say, suggesting the same room and killer over and over, only replacing the weapon each time), other players can easily notice that player is doing something, perhaps by the component he changes with each suggestion, and thus deduce the cards this player has seen.
   
   Conversely, the continually-suggesting player can use this to trick the other players by suggesting weapons and killers that he already knows have been ruled out.
   
   A common trick is to suggest cards held in your own hand in order to prove or disprove specifics. This can fool players into believing certain combinations are the correct answer.
   
   If evidence is requested for which you have two of the cards in your hand, and someone displays a card, by deduction you are given free evidence.
