Hasbro Cluedo - The Game of Great Detectives

Product Information

Advertising at the time suggested players would take on the guise of "Sherlock Holmes following the path of the criminal", but no depictions of Holmes appear in the advertising or on the box.

From 1972 on, the US editions presented lush box cover art depicting the six suspects in various candid poses within a room of the mansion.At the beginning of play, three cards—one suspect, one room, and one weapon—are chosen at random and put into a special envelope, so that no one can see them. Enter the game of CLUE and through a process of elimination, a bit of bluff, and some luck with the dice, solve the mystery and reveal the cards within the secret envelope.

Clue "Vintage Edition" (2005, 2009), [33] also released as Cluedo "Vintage Edition", is a re-formatted nostalgia edition into a "vintage" bookshelf collection along with a series of other popular boardgames.This set contains a game board, a yellow murder envelope, a detective notepad, six character tokens, 21 black Cluedo cards, 13 red bonus cards, six weapon tokens, two dice and a game guide. There you’ll pick a card and get to ask a bonus question, move anywhere you want, or even take a sneaky peek at a CLUE card. Peacock has an advantage in that she is closest to the Conservatory, a corner room with a secret passage, enabling a player on their turn to move immediately to another room and make a suggestion after rolling the dice. Adjusting with the times, in 1979 US television commercials a detective, resembling a bumbling Inspector Clouseau from the popular Pink Panther film franchise, looks for clues. In the UK, Cluedo was marketed as "The Great Detective Game" from the mid-1950s until 2000, when it was rebranded as the "Classic Detective Game".
