Clue (or Cluedo, as it’s known in the UK) introduced a new genre when it was launched in 1949—the mystery deduction board game. With its cast of characters, murder weapons, and crime scene settings, it turned players into amateur detectives.
The objective is to determine who committed the crime, with what weapon, and in which room. Each player must gather clues, eliminate possibilities, and make logical deductions to solve the mystery first. Classic board games
What makes Clue special is the process of elimination. Every guess narrows the options, and bluffing adds a social strategy element. You can throw opponents off track by pretending to know more than you do.
Clue is beloved for its thematic experience—a blend of storytelling, logic, and chance. Its memorable characters like Colonel Mustard and Miss Scarlet have become part of gaming folklore.
With updated editions, themed variations, and digital adaptations, Clue has proven that a good mystery never goes out of style.
