Product Information

Disney Death: Every death (except for book #1, chapter 1 — "Who Killed Pitty-Pat?", and possibly Boddy in book #18, chapter 10 — "Making Scents") in the series. Giving clues by inference is a subtle way to impart information and it can end up serving as a true clue, a red herring, or even a false clue if your villain is devious and skilled enough to make it fly. Give a clue by analogy A player begins their turn by rolling the die. The player will then move their pawn the number of spaces rolled. Some rules regarding movement include: Mr. Boddy is a wealthy philanthropist and a painfully trusting host. He collects valuable items while generously forgiving his guests for attempting to commit any crime, including theft, murdering each other and so even himself. His first name is said to be Reginald. Comically Missing the Point: In book #13, chapter 5 ("For Goodness' Snakes!"), one of the guests sees an overgrown snake sliding over Professor Plum's shoes and tells him to "Watch out!" Plum's confused but truthful response: "But I have my watch out already." (It was a wind-up watch, and he was readjusting the hands.)

Players' tokens are typically plastic pawns or figurines; the standard edition of Cluedo has six of these suspects: But alas!—our ball contains multiple threads that unravel as they roll out, challenging the reader to know which thread to follow. These wayward threads are red herrings and false clues.Creature of Habit: Boddy, according to Professor Plum in book #6, chapter 10 ("Booby-Trapped!"), who has a cup of cocoa in the Study every night before bed with a specific routine going on. Watson, Victor (2008). The Waddingtons Story: From the early days to Monopoly, the Maxwell bids and into the next Millennium. Huddersfield: Jeremy Mills Publishing. p.81. ISBN 978-1-906600-36-5 . Retrieved 21 June 2011. Affably Evil: All six of the guests are murderous, larcenous, deceitful criminals whose general reaction to any slight is to seek deadly revenge; they're also constantly scheming against each other and trying to bilk Mr. Boddy out of his riches. But they're all so funny and personable that readers can't help but like them. It helps that most of the time they're too bumbling and inept to actually pull off any evil deeds. Big Fancy House: Boddy Manor, as in all versions. It's a twelve-gabled, three story mansion (the first floor has the nine rooms and the two secret passages from the game, the second floor has all the bedrooms, and the third floor is the attic; there's also a basement, where the furnace is located) on a very large estate at 292 Easy Street, Little Falls. Book #2, chapter 1 ("The Secret Secret Passage") establishes that the mansion was built by Boddy's great-grandfather. One of the series' basic rules is that Mr. Boddy is never a suspect in any crime. When he's accused of theft in book #5, chapter 6 ("The Guest Who Stole Christmas"), he's so choked with rage that he turns the colors of each of the guests, one after another and can't say anything for several long moments.

The North American versions of Clue also replace the character "Reverend Green" from the original Cluedo with "Mr. Green". This is the only region to continue to make such a change. Minor changes include "Miss Scarlett" with her name being spelt with one 't', the spanner being called a wrench, and the dagger renamed a knife. In the 2016 U.S. edition, the knife was changed to a dagger. Until 2003, the lead piping was known as the lead pipe only in the North American edition. The book series adaptation of Clue, each of its eighteen books consists of mini-mysteries in which Mr. Reginald Boddy and his six color-coded guests, who've been invited over for the weekend, participate in some activity or another which forms the basis of a puzzle for the reader to solve. The books always start with an "Allow Me To Introduce Myself..." chapter, in which readers learn about Boddy and his six guests (and usually how he survived the last book), and tend to set up for the first mini-mystery chapter, while the final story always involves Mr. Boddy's murder and usually (but not always) a theft of some kind. It was released from 1992 to 1997. In book #5, chapter 6 ("The Guest Who Stole Christmas"), Boddy tells everyone he spent a million dollars for the holiday. The guests assume he meant the presents and try to steal them, with one succeeding. Then it turns out he actually spent that money on the Christmas tree ornaments; the gifts are all tiny party favors and worth only pennies. In book #13, chapter 7 ("The Scavenger Hunt"), in which the player who finds the most weapons wins, the guest who wins the game is denied the prize because they stole two of the three they had from the people who originally found them, and the other five all get to share the prize (a cruise to the Caribbean Islands on Boddy's private yacht) instead.Maybe they engage in a dialogue about the soup, tossing about theories or fears. Was the soup poisoned? Where did the soup come from? Once you know the answer…It’s a race against time! You must be on the scene of the crime to make your accusation, so roll the dice, get to the correct room and unravel the mystery! If your accusation is incorrect, you will be eliminated from the game. Don’t risk letting the criminal escape! Be sure before you show your hand. FEATURES In book #17, chapter 4 ("Getting Out of Line"), Boddy's acquired a valuable but high-strung show cat and will only allow one person in to see it at a time. Their arguing over who goes first causes him to send them all to their rooms without supper, and then return the cat to its previous owner so none of them ever get to see it. 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. These cards represent the solution. The remainder of the cards are distributed among the players.
