When we played Clue, it was perfect with 3 or 6 players because everyone would be dealt either 6 or 3 cards, respectively, with the remaining 3 cards being the solution. But when you had 4 or 5 players, it wasn't fair because some would be dealt more cards than others.
Our solution was to use the 2 clue cards that had advertising/instructions on them, over-writing the text with either "POISON" or "SUICIDE", thus adding 1 weapon and 1 suspect for when we had either 4 or 5 players. Then every player would be dealt either 5 or 4 cards, respectively.
This, however, led to some interesting solutions: Mr. Body committed SUICIDE, in the CONSERVATORY with the CANDLESTICK.
