Historic Origins: Clue (originally titled "Murder!") was created by British musician Anthony Pratt during WW2 air raids in the early 1940s. Inspired by murder mystery games and detective fiction from authors like Agatha Christie, Pratt and his wife Elva developed the concept during dark nights waiting out the raids.

Global Success: Pratt filed for a patent in 1947 and sold Clue to Waddington Games, but due to material shortages during wartime, it wasn't released until 1949. Parker Brothers brought the game to America, where it became one of the world's most enduring party games.

1986 Edition Legacy: The 1986 edition featured in this Retro Series release was particularly popular and represents a nostalgic era for many players. This version is beloved by collectors and fans who grew up with this classic styling.

Cultural Impact: Clue has had a huge impact on mystery-themed and deduction games, inspiring countless variations and adaptations across different media, including movies, books, and digital games.

Setup: Place the board in the centre and put each character token in their starting space. Shuffle the Suspect, Weapon, and Room cards separately, then secretly select one from each category for the solution envelope. Deal remaining cards evenly to all players.

Gameplay: Players take turns rolling the die and moving their character token around the mansion. When entering a room, players can make a suggestion by naming a suspect, weapon, and the current room. Other players try to disprove suggestions by showing matching cards.

Deduction: Use detective notes to track information learned from other players' responses. The goal is to deduce which suspect, weapon, and room cards are in the solution envelope.

Winning: When confident about the solution, a player can make an accusation on their turn. If correct, they win! If wrong, they're eliminated but continue helping disprove others' suggestions.

Classic Suspects: Colonel Mustard (yellow), Miss Scarlet (red), Mrs. Peacock (blue), Mr. Green (green), Mrs. White (white), and Professor Plum (purple). Each character has their own personality and backstory that adds to the mystery atmosphere.

Murder Weapons: The six classic weapons include Candlestick, Knife, Lead Pipe, Revolver, Rope, and Wrench. These iconic items have remained consistent throughout Clue's history and are essential to solving each mystery.

Mansion Rooms: The game features nine rooms in the mansion: Study, Hall, Lounge, Dining Room, Kitchen, Ballroom, Conservatory, Billiard Room, and Library. Each room connects to others through doorways and secret passages.

Strategic Elements: Players must use logic and deduction to eliminate possibilities and narrow down the solution. The combination of movement, questioning, and note-taking creates engaging strategic gameplay.
