Waddingtons released a new edition of Cluedo in 1970, which was called the International Edition of Cluedo. The game remained essentially the same, but it aimed to standardize the different language versions and combined artwork from all the variations of the game that had been released at that time. 10.

The playing tokens are typically made out of unfinished pewter, with the exception of the rope, which may be made of plastic, metal, or string depending on edition. Special editions have included gold plated, brass finished and sterling silver versions, which have appeared in a variety of designs.In some international versions of the game (mostly the Spanish-language ones), the colours of some pieces are different, so as to correspond with the changes to each suspect's unique foreign name variations. In some cases, rooms and weapons are changed in addition to other regional variances. [34] You must ask 1 suspect, 1 weapon and your current room when make your suggestion. Move the suspect and weapon into your current room. You can suggest yourself as suspect and can suggest any cards you have, to deduct range. If you entered a room on this turn (or if you haven’t moved from the room you were moved to between turns), you can ask a question to eliminate cards from the possible murder solution. When asking a question, you must ask about one suspect, one weapon and the room your character is currently in. For example, “Was it Professor Plum with the Lead Pipe in the Bedroom?” The tokens representing the weapon and character you named - even if they are controlled by another player - move to your current room. a b c d e Hall, Charlie (4 Jan 2023).

The methodology used in the early versions of Cluedo is remarkably similar to a traditional, if little known, American card game, The King of Hearts Has Five Sons. [10] However, Pratt himself said his inspiration was a murder mystery parlour game he used to play with friends in which youngsters "would congregate in each other's homes for parties at weekends. We'd play a stupid game called Murder, where guests crept up on each other in corridors and the victim would shriek and fall on the floor". [11] The country house mystery was a popular subgenre of "cosy" English detective fiction in the 1920s and 1930s; stories were set in a residence of the gentry isolated by circumstances such as a snowstorm with the suspects gathered for a weekend house party. [ citation needed] Marketing [ edit ] Lead pipe (called lead piping in earlier UK editions; the early tokens were made out of actual lead and therefore pose a risk of lead poisoning)There was also a German edition which was released as “Wer is Meisterdetektive.” They changed the box design with this release, adding a detective with a gun and a german shepherd to the cover art. 7. Clue: The Great New Detective Game Clue "Master Detective" (1988), [29] an expanded version of the game featuring 12 rooms, 10 characters, and eight weapons with support for up to 10 players. In addition to the regular cast, Clue Master Detective adds Miss Peach, Monsieur Brunette, Madame Rose, and Sergeant Gray to the list of suspects. It also added poison and a horseshoe to the assortment of weapons. The fountain, the gazebo, and the carriage house were added to the list of rooms. This game is currently published in the USA by Winning Moves Games USA. If a player has a card that matches the suspect, weapon or room you named, they must reveal the card to you - without showing the other players. If the player has more than one matching card, they only reveal one card. Every player takes a turn of rolling the die and moves around the board into rooms, and they ask questions to other players to find what is on the cards that other players hold. If the last two players revealed they have Col. Mustard and a dagger then these are eliminated from the potential murder suspects and weapons used.

SINGLE PLAYER - Put your brain to the test against a guest list of AI murder suspects, online or offline! Choose your character, choose your opponents and let no criminal escape the mansion! Once one card has been revealed to you, your turn ends - you do not get to ask the remaining players. When you see a card that’s not in the envelope, cross it off your clue sheet - you know it can’t be part of the solution. (This means if you name a suspect, weapon and room, and nobody can answer - and you don’t have those cards - that’s the solution.) Editor Braunman ( Cluedo iOS) - Appearing only on the menu screens, he is the editor-in-chief who sends the reporter to gather material and solve the murder case in an allotted time. Clue Chronicles: Fatal Illusion, Hasbro's short-lived interactive video game series set in 1938, added five characters to the usual six: Ian Masque, an eccentric millionaire who invites the original suspects and new characters to his isolated Swiss mountain estate for a mysterious dinner party; Marina Popov, an attractive, blonde Russian psychic; Martin Urfe, a mediocre magician hired by Masque to entertain his guests who may be a fraud; Sabata, a deranged Spanish artist; and Dr. Julia Kell, an aging German psychoanalyst who may have Nazi ties. In the 2016 edition Mrs. White was replaced by Dr. Orchid, a young biologist and adopted daughter of the victim, represented by a pink token. [19] Dr. Orchid was replaced by Chef White in the 2023 UK and North American editions.
