The weapon icons are typically made of unfinished pewter (except the rope, which may be plastic or string); special editions have included gold plated, brass finished and sterling silver versions. The board game spawned a franchise, which since 1985 has expanded to include a feature film, mini-series, a musical, numerous books and several video games. If a player's suggestion has brought another player's token into a room, the second player may make their own suggestion in the room when their turn comes up, if desired. If not, they may move out of the room, and if able to reach another room, make a suggestion therein, as usual. In the American version, players are not allowed to make suggestions repeatedly by remaining in one room; if they wish to make a second suggestion, they must first spend a turn out of the room. Perparation: Set up the game board and place all the playing pieces on their designated spaces. Each player chooses a token to represent them during the game. Shuffle the suspect, weapon, and room cards and place them face-down on their designated spaces. Take one card from each category and place them into the secret envelope. This will be the solution to the murder mystery. At the beginning of the game, each player is given a set of cards that contains the suspect, weapon, and room cards, and one of each of these is randomly selected and placed in a secret envelope, which represents the solution to the mystery. Players take turns rolling dice and moving their token around the board to different rooms, where they can make suggestions about the murder by naming a suspect, a weapon, and a room. The player to their left then shows them one of their cards that match the suggestion, if they have any.

Numerous games, books, a film, television series, and a musical have been released as part of the Cluedo franchise. Several spinoffs have been released featuring various extra characters, weapons and rooms, or different game play. The original game is marketed as the "Classic Detective Game", and the various spinoffs are all distinguished by different slogans. a b c Orbanes, Phil (2003).

Besides some rule differences listed above, some versions label the names of characters, weapons, rooms and in some instances the actual game itself differently.The game consists of a board which shows the rooms, corridors and secret-passages of an English country house called Tudor Mansion (named Tudor Close, Tudor Hall, Arlington Grange, Boddy Manor or Boddy Mansion in some editions) in Hampshire, England, in 1926. The game box also includes several coloured playing pieces to represent characters, miniature murder weapon props, two six-sided dice, three sets of cards (describing the aforementioned rooms, characters or weapons), Solution Cards and an envelope (or a mirror in some editions) to contain one card from each set of cards, and a Detective's Notes pad on which are printed lists of rooms, weapons and characters, so players can keep detailed notes during the game. The early lead pipings (lead pipes) were made out of actual lead and therefore posed a risk of lead poisoning.

The player must move to the indoor swimming pool in the centre of the board to make an accusation. This adds some challenge versus the ability to make accusations from anywhere in the original game. The changes to the game have been criticised in the media, and by fans of the game, for unnecessarily altering classic cultural icons. [9] [26] [27] Game Play: On your turn, roll the dice and move your token the number of spaces shown on the dice. You can move your token horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally. Enter the room that you land on and make a suggestion by stating a suspect, weapon, and room. For example, you might say, "I think Colonel Mustard did it with the revolver in the library." Open the secret envelope to see if your accusation is correct. If it is, you win the game! If not, you are out of the game and cannot win. The game continues until one player correctly accuses the murderer, or until all players have made incorrect accusations and are out of the game. Clue "Master Detective" (1988), [29] an expanded version of the game featuring 12 rooms, 10 characters, and eight weapons with support for up to 10 players. In addition to the regular cast, Clue Master Detective adds Miss Peach, Monsieur Brunette, Madame Rose, and Sergeant Gray to the list of suspects.
