Product Information

The changes to the game have been criticised in the media, and by fans of the game, for unnecessarily altering classic cultural icons. [9] [26] [27] First of all, roll both dice. Ideally, you want to be able to enter a room every turn as once inside, you can make a suggestion. There are secret passages to make this easier. a b c Orbanes, Phil (1997).

Besides some rule differences listed above, some versions label the names of characters, weapons, rooms and in some instances the actual game itself differently. Games magazine included Clue in their "Top 100 Games of 1980", praising it as "still the classic detective game". [35]In the second episode of the fourth season, Col. Mike Mustard murdered former comrade and property developer Sir Nigel Hussey ( Ian McNeice) with a G-string in the kitchen. A short time after the episode aired, the producers received a letter that was written by the family of one Felix Reese, who himself was a taxi driver who was shot in the head by Leslie Grantham (the actor playing Col. Mustard) while the future star of EastEnders was a soldier stationed in Germany. The Reeses found it distasteful that someone who performed an illegal killing as a soldier would be cast as someone who performed an illegal killing as a soldier. [16] Matthew Wright from The Sun asked Grantham about the "irony" of this turn at a press conference, which angered the actor. [17] International versions [ edit ] Country In South America, it is licensed and sold under several different names. It is marketed as Detetive in Brazil.

The game consists of a board which shows the rooms, corridors and secret-passages of an English country house called Tudor Mansion (named Tudor Close, Tudor Hall, Arlington Grange, Boddy Manor or Boddy Mansion in some editions) in Hampshire, England, in 1926. The game box also includes several coloured playing pieces to represent characters, miniature murder weapon props, two six-sided dice, three sets of cards (describing the aforementioned rooms, characters or weapons), Solution Cards and an envelope (or a mirror in some editions) to contain one card from each set of cards, and a Detective's Notes pad on which are printed lists of rooms, weapons and characters, so players can keep detailed notes during the game.

On his stint as host, Chris Tarrant was later quoted as saying, "I absolutely hated hosting Cluedo; it's the worst thing I've ever done. It took forever to make the thing. We used to have to turn the studio audience over just to make sure they didn't get any bed sores." [15] Controversy [ edit ]
