Classic Mystery Game: Clue (known as Cluedo outside North America) is one of the world's most beloved board games, challenging players to solve a murder mystery by deducing the killer, location, and weapon.

Gameplay: Players move around the mansion, making suggestions about the crime and gathering clues from other players' responses. Through logical deduction and careful note-taking, players work to solve the mystery before their opponents.

Iconic Characters: The game features memorable suspects including Miss Scarlet, Colonel Mustard, Mrs White, Mr Green, Mrs Peacock, and Professor Plum.

Cultural Impact: Clue has inspired movies, TV shows, books, and countless variations, becoming a cornerstone of popular culture and family entertainment.

Educational Value: Beyond entertainment, Clue teaches critical thinking, deductive reasoning, and strategic planning skills.

Wartime Origins: There is no doubt that Clue (originally titled "Murder!") is a pretty sinister board game, but you may be surprised to learn that its origins are equally dark. In the early 1940s, a British musician, fire warden, and munitions factory worker named Anthony Pratt was holed up in his Birmingham home during WW2 air raids. During these dark gloomy nights, he recalled the murder mystery games played by some of his clients at private music gigs as well as the detective fiction popular at the time from authors like Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie. Slowly, Pratt and his wife, Elva, turned the idea into a board game they could play while waiting out the raids.

Commercial Launch: Pratt filed for a patent in 1947 and sold Clue to Waddington Games, but due to a shortage of materials during wartime, it wasn't actually released until 1949. Parker Brothers brought the game to America, and it went on to become one of the world's most enduring party games.

Lasting Legacy: Clue has had a huge impact on all the mystery-themed and deduction games that followed in its footsteps. The 1986 edition being reproduced here represents a particularly beloved era of the game's history.

Retro Appeal: The 1986 version is cherished by collectors for its distinctive styling and quality components, making this reproduction a must-have for fans and nostalgic players alike.
