I grew up in a game family. We'd have dinner and then play board or card games around the table. Its always been a favorite past time of mine and something I plan on taking with me when one day I have a family. One of my favs is clue. I always play miss scarlet. Also I follow the rules exactly and usually always win. Once when playing with some friends the guys took these meticulous notes, I can't even imagine what they were writing down, but of course they lost. Anyways... FACTS!
- Clue is the only board game that has had a movie made following its plot.
- During development, the following weapons were proposed to be in the Clue game: the dagger, revolver, rope, bomb, an axe, lead pipe, candlestick, spanner, poison and a hypodermic syringe.
- The Clue board game is available in over 40 countries including Japan and China.
- Mr. Green is only used in the North American versions of Clue who replaces the original Reverend Green.
- "Cluedo" was the original name of Clue before it was changed to "Clue" when Parker Brothers bought it in 1949.
- An unauthorized variation of Clue has been developed that is an Evangelical Christian board game called Mystery Museum where the goal is to discover who stole an artifact while learning about the Bible.
- During the concept stage, the mansion included a "gun" room, but this was later removed because it was thought to be too elitist.
