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. Any player, by the process of deduction and good common sense, can win the game by identifying the three solution cards. .
             The game board for "Clue" has nine rooms in Mr. Boddy's mansion. There are six colored tokens used to represent the six suspects. All six tokens are placed on the starting squares with their names on them. The six suspects closely associated with the game are: Col. Mustard (yellow), Miss Scarlet (red), Prof. Plum (purple), Mr. Green (green), Mrs. Peacock (blue), and Mrs. White (white). There are six miniature weapons, which are placed in the different rooms. There are also 21 illustrated cards, which includes a card for each of the six suspects, weapons, and rooms. The cards are sorted into three different groups: room cards, weapon cards and suspect cards. The cards are shuffled faces down and the top card from each group is placed in the little envelope. 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.
