Clue DVD Game Board

This is the game board from the U.S. version of the Clue DVD game, scheduled to be available in May 2006, according to information released by Hasbro / Parker Brothers at the 2006 American International Toy Fair.

Recommended for ages 10 and up, the game challenges players to solve one of 12 crimes on the DVD. To do so, they must solve four elements (as compared to three in the standard board game: suspect, room, weapon). Animated butler and inspector characters guide players through the gameplay.

A British Cluedo DVD game was released last year; it contained 10 set mysteries plus a "general case."
