For those who love a good murder mystery, then the Clue Game is a great way to while away time at a beach house when not out in the sand, sun and water. The object of the game is to determine who murdered the game's victim, Mr. Boddy, in his mansion, which room the crime took place in and which weapon was used.
Each player assumes the role of one of the six suspects and attempts to deduce the correct answer by strategically moving around a game board representing the rooms of a mansion and collecting clues about the circumstances of the murder from the other players. Was it Plum with the wrench in the library? Or Green with the candlestick in the study?
Originally devised in 1943 by Anthony E. Pratt from Birmingham, England, the game was first manufactured by Waddingtons in the UK in 1949, but is currently owned and published by Hasbro. Includes 1 gameboard, 6 tokens, 6 miniature weapons, 30 Cards (6 character cards, 6 weapon cards, 9 room cards & 9 clue cards), 1 case file envelope, 1 pad of detective notebook sheets, 2 dice, and the game guide.
For 2 to 6 players ages 8 and up.
