Clue, also known as Cluedo in some countries, is a classic board game that was first introduced by Parker Brothers in 1949. The game is designed for three to six players and is set in a mansion where a murder has taken place. The players take on the role of characters who are trying to solve the mystery by determining the murderer, the weapon used, and the room in which the crime occurred. The game board for Clue features a layout of the mansion with several rooms, including a study, kitchen, ballroom, conservatory, billiard room, library, and dining room. Each player starts the game with a set of cards that include the names of the suspects, the weapons used, and the rooms in the mansion. The players move their game pieces around the board to different rooms and use their deductive reasoning skills to eliminate suspects, weapons, and rooms from their list of possibilities. Players can also make suggestions about the murder, such as suggesting a particular suspect, weapon, and room. If another player has any of those cards in their hand, they must show them to the suggesting player. This information can help narrow down the possible combinations and ultimately lead to the solution of the mystery.
