Lying in the boardgame Clue?

Question

Are you allowed to lie and say you don't have a certian card in the boardgame Clue? My brothers and I fought over saying that you have to be honest in the game Clue and say you have the card and show it to the person. Is that true or i can lie and say i dont have that card they are looking for even if i do?

Answer 1

you have to tell the truth or you can't really ever play a real game it would go on forever. .

what's the point

Answer 2

You have to show the card, or else it's cheating.

Imagine if all the players did it - how would anyone ever win? Your opponents are the only people you can get clues from, and if they lead you to believe someone might be guilty when they aren't, it leads to guesses the players otherwise wouldn't make.
