Solve by deduction,
the mystery murder of Dr. Black whose body has been found at the foot of the
cellar staircase in his country house, Tudor Close. Each suspect, weapon, and
possible scene of the crime, has a unique code and the winner of the game is
the player who cracks this code and identifies in one accusation; Cleverly designed card holders conceal the vital cards. Throughout the game, players have the opportunity of sliding open one or more of the four windows on these card holders to reveal part of the unique code every card carries. The game play has subtly changed. All players hold a master clue list. Players must land on a clue tile which reveals a number for an instruction eg. look at any window in the card holders, take a spare card (thus eliminating a room, a suspect or a weapon) or reveal the location of a super clue. To help players collate the information they gather, each detective has a clue sheet. |
Three new suspects join the ranks; Miss
Peach, Captain Brown, and Mr. Slate-Grey. The total of 9 characters now appear as
beautifully styled playing pieces. Three extra weapons also thicken the plot.
The possible murder weapons could include a Blunderbuss, Poison or an axe,
besides the other 6 well- known implements from the original game. Cluedo remains a classic of
murder mystery board games, still in production and selling worldwide, since
its development in the 1940s. This Super Cluedo Challenge is a fitting
tribute and expansion of play to this most famous of Whodunnit games.
