Publisher: Parker Brothers
Designer: Anthony Pratt
Why It's Significant (in 25 words or less): Clue is the first widely popular mystery-themed game and has inspired many other deduction games.
More About Clue / Cluedo: In Clue, or Cludeo as it's known in England, players attempt to solve a mystery: Who killed Mr. Boddy? They move from room to room in a mansion, narrowing down their list of suspects, locations, and murder weapons. When a player correctly solves the crime, the game ends.
