As a family game - it makes sense to have that kind of āMario Partyā random bullshit that gives the worst player a chance to catch up. Sometimes the 6 year old deserves a break.
I broke Clue when I was 10 - I figured out that you could fish for a specific item, place or person if you guess two of them that youāre holding. If no one can show you that card, youāve confirmed the candlestick or whatever, and you also havenāt really revealed that much.
Most of the classic family games suck. Life, Chutes and Ladders, Candyland are all ārandom number says you win!ā Monopoly can get some life from being treated like a social/backstabbing game at least.

To me, it sounds like you just didnāt have anyone competent to play with. If everyone is using this strategy, theyāll also be able to narrow down which cards you have, giving them more information.
Given thatās the entire point of the game, that seems like it achieves the objective. Why would you want to extend that phase of the game?
