Clue

Clue is a great mystery based board game made by Parker Brothers/Hasbro Games. The basic plot of the game is that someone has been killed, Mr. Body for those that actually watched the movie Clue. How the games works is there are a series of cards showing nine rooms; the kitchen, ballroom, library, conservatory, study, hall, billiard room, lounge and the dining room, five weapons; a revolver, lead pipe, candlestick, rope and a wrench, and the five people present at the time; Prof Plum, Col Mustard, Ms Scarlet, Mrs Peacock and Mrs White.

Board Games:

At the beginning of the game one card is randomly drawn from each catagory; person, weapon and room, then is placed in a protective sleeve without being seen by any of the players. These cards represent the killer, the weapon they used and where the murder took place. The rest of the cards are shuffled and given out to the players who's goal it is to find out who-done-it.

My family has played this game for years and we've all developed different tactics to eek out every piece of information from what people say, don't say, show and even don't show. Because of how often we've played in the past my family had to end up making more of the little sheets that come with the came which you can find here.
