Has anyone ever played Cluedo? It's pretty cool. We used to play it a lot when I was a kid.

Yep it's a cool game. Played it in recent months with some friends. Also loved the film.

I live in USA and CLUE is my very favorite mystery game. But it's not fun if yu only have 2 ppl playing it. And WHY, pray tell, is it impossible for the victim to have done it himself???? (I never thought of that till I saw the latest sherlock episode hounds movie!!) I tried to get the online version but my PC didn't have enough space. My fav character is miss scarlett, since my fav color is red.

It says on wiki that cluedo is different in someways from clue. I'd sure like to somehow see a version of cluedo.

We used to play it when I was a kid and it was fun. I've tried playing it with my kids but one of them, not saying who, used to always do a Sherlock and throw a hissy fit, so we don't play anymore. Perhaps a bit too competitive. Stopped short of pinning the board to the wall with a dagger but only just! Lol

I don't do Cluedo.
The urge to peek into the envelope while the other player's heads are turned is far too great!

This is the Cluedo board I used as a child. Not sure if they have changed any, but it looks the same as Sherlock's.

Characters:
Miss Scarlett
Colonel Mustard
Mrs. White
Reverend Green
Mrs. Peacock
Professor Plum

Yeah that's exactly the same one I've got. I got it out recently and set it up on a permanent display. Would like to pin it to the wall but the walls are made of stone and really impossible to put stuff in, can't even hang pictures properly. Thinking of getting a cork board and then pinning it to that!

Guess what I saw nailed on Sherlock's wall in his apartment!!! You guessed it!!! The Cluedo game board!!! Anyone else notice this?

So, I finally did it...

**Posted by Molly Hooper** July 3, 2012 10:57 pm

Wow, that's certainly, dedicated...
Is that a SAK?

**Posted by Sherlock Holmes** July 3, 2012 11:03 pm

Nahh, it's just a cheap pen knife.

**Posted by Tantalus** July 5, 2012 7:01 pm

Well, it's been awhile, but looks like the names are all the same, except the American "Clue" has Mr. Green, no Reverend, for some odd reason...

**Posted by sherlockskitty** July 8, 2012 9:30 pm

yeah...no reverend on my version here in the US. Funny, I want to hang my clue board up on the wall too. Too bad it's at someone else's house .
