CLUEDO - ORIGINAL VINTAGE EDITION

Product Information

With the launch of the US 1972 edition, a television commercial showed Holmes and Watson engaged in a particularly competitive game. Wanted an original Cluedo, understand that it is an old game, but it should have had all the parts required to play.

Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out. The game allowed for play of up to eight remaining characters, providing for nine suspects in total. The pads can keep not only a history of which cards are in a player's hand, but also which cards have been shown by another player. From 1950 until the 1960s, the game was marketed as "The Great Detective Game", at which time it became the "Parker Brothers Detective Game". The game box also includes several coloured playing pieces to represent characters, miniature murder weapon props, two six-sided dice, three sets of cards (describing the aforementioned rooms, characters or weapons), Solution Cards and an envelope (or a mirror in some editions) to contain one card from each set of cards, and a Detective's Notes pad on which are printed lists of rooms, weapons and characters, so players can keep detailed notes during the game.

The accusation can include any room, not necessarily the one occupied by the player (if any), and may be made immediately following a suggestion. For fans of the Marvel Universe, our LEGO Marvel collection is full of detailed models and sets that’ll make your favourite characters come to life. The current UK and North American editions of the game, released by Hasbro in 2023, refer to him as "Boden 'Boddy' Black Jr.

Cluedo was originally marketed as "The Great New Detective Game" upon its launch in 1949 in North America.

The remaining 24 cards (after the removal of victim, murderer, murder weapon and murder room) were shuffled and distributed into the rooms. The centre room (often referred to as the Cellar or Stairs) is inaccessible to the players, but contains the solution envelope, and is not otherwise used during game play. If not, they may move out of the room, and if able to reach another room, make a suggestion therein, as usual. It was simultaneously licensed to Parker Brothers in the United States for publication, where it was renamed Clue, as the name " Ludo" was not widely known there, Pachisi-style games having been published under other names and brands, so the play on words would not have been generally understood.
