What is Clue (Cluedo)?

Clue, also known as Cluedo, is a board game in which players try to solve a mystery by deducing the location of a hidden weapon, the identity of the suspect who committed a crime, and the location of the crime. The game is set in a fictional mansion, and players must move around the mansion and gather clues from the various rooms to help them make their deductions. 

The game is played with a game board, playing pieces, and cards. The game board is a representation of the mansion, with each room represented by a space on the board. Each player chooses a playing piece and moves it around the board according to the roll of a dice. There are six suspects in the game, each with their own playing piece and corresponding card. There are also six weapons, each with its own card, and nine rooms in the mansion, each with its own card. One card from each group is randomly chosen and placed in a envelope, which represents the "solution" to the mystery. The remaining cards are shuffled and dealt to the players. During the game, players take turns rolling the dice and moving their playing piece around the board. When a player lands on a room space, they may make a suggestion about the weapon, suspect, and location of the crime. For example, a player might suggest that "Miss Scarlett did it in the library with the rope." 

Other players must then show the player any cards they have that match the suggestion. If a player has one of the suggested cards, they must show it to the suggesting player. The suggesting player can then use this information to help make further deductions. The object of the game is to be the first player to correctly deduce the solution to the mystery by using clues gathered from the other players and from the game board. Players can also make accusations, in which they name their solution and try to prove it by showing the corresponding cards. If the accusation is correct, the player wins the game. If the accusation is incorrect, the player is eliminated from the game.
