Clue: The Board Game

The game of “Clue” is unlike any other board game! All of the characters in the game, including the “victim,” are fictional. The game is setup like a stage play; it can be totally left up to the imagination. The scene opens in Mr. Boddy’s palatial mansion. Mr. Boddy is the victim of foul play and is found murdered in one of the rooms. The objective of the game is to discover the answer to the three main questions. Who murdered Mr. Boddy? Which room was Mr. Boddy murdered in? What weapon was used to commit the crime? The answer lies in the little envelope resting on the stairway marked X in the center of the board.

The envelope is then placed on the space marked X in the center of the board. The remaining cards are now thoroughly mixed together, shuffled and then dealt one at a time, clockwise, around the table to each player. Each player should hold their cards, being careful that other players can’t see which cards they have. There is also a detective note pad to aid the players in their investigations. Although there is no rule on how the players should use the detective note pad, it is suggested that the best and easiest way to play the game is to check off the items on the note pad, as they become known.

Helpful hints and careful planning can enhance the chances for a player to win. Players should be extremely careful in examining their cards before stating that they cannot disprove a “suggestion.” A smart pla
