Today's Blog WAS about a great single player game in the Clue series of games called Clue: Mysteries. As I did some research on the series as a whole I wound up writing more and more about the series so I decided to just cover the general 'Clue universe' instead.
I grew up in the 70's and 80's and quite remember the old(er) edition of Clue that was hanging around my step Grandmother's house. The game was created in 1949 but I'm sure it was the 1963 version that she had. The characters were these 60's esque drawings. Since then I have played the 1972 version, 1997, and 2002 versions.
The game originally had 6 suspects:
- Miss Scarlett
- Colonel Mustard
- Mrs. White
- Mr. Green
- Mrs. Peacock
- Professor Plum
- Madame Rose
- Mr. Bruette
- Miss Peach
- Seargeant Gray
- Rusty
- Mrs. Meadow-Brook
- Prince Azure (non-suspect)
- Lady Lavander (non-suspect)
- Lord Gray (non-suspect)
- Mr. Boddy (non-suspect)
- Inspector Brown (non-suspect)
- Didit
- Mr. Ashe
- Hogarth
As the years progress and game companies try to create new stuff Clue has seemed to have lost it's core concept with versions such as Clue: Secrets in Paris, and Suspects and Spies. You can almost always find the original themed game out there so don't despair. You can also find it a million times over on EBay or in a thrift store.
I reviewed Clue: The Great Museum Caper last year so go check it out. I also did video reviews for a few of the Clue games including Suspects, The Great Museum Caper, and Mysteries.
