So who's a fan of the long-running game of murder and detection?

Cluedo (Clue in North America) is a crime fiction board game originally published by Waddington Games, UK in 1948. It was devised by Anthony Pratt, a solicitor's clerk from Birmingham, England. It is now published by the US game and toy company Hasbro, which acquired American board game company Parker Brothers, that originally manufactured the game.
Trivia
In Canada and the U.S., the game is known as Clue. Possibly it was retitled because the traditional British board game Ludo, on which the name is based, was less well known there than its American variant Parcheesi. There are also localised versions for Japan and China.
Expressions such as "Colonel Mustard, in the Library, with the candlestick," have entered popular culture, in much the same way as "Hotel on Boardwalk (Mayfair in the British edition)" from Monopoly.
Enough rope has been included in Clue and Cluedo games to encircle the world.
In some international versions of the game (mostly the Spanish-language ones) the colors of some pieces are different, so as to correspond with the changes to each suspect's name
