	While not directly relevant for gaming purposes, it may amuse you to know that they actually made a movie based on this game. And unlike forgettable garbage like [[Battleship]], or Ouija, or (God help you if you actually saw those) the three [[Dungeons & Dragons]] movies, people remember the Clue movie fondly. It wasn't especially great or ground-breaking, but a murder mystery actually makes for a good story that anyone can relate with and enjoy. The movie stays true to the spirit of the game while greatly expanding on all the characters and giving them all credible reasons to want Mr. Body dead, giving it a good mix of intrigue and comedy. Also, Tim Curry brings his A-game as the hapless butler [[Tzeentch\|Wadsworth]]. The movie was also unique in that there were three separate theatrical versions with three different endings. Seriously, go watch it.		While not directly relevant for gaming purposes, it may amuse you to know that they actually made a movie based on this game.

The movie was also unique in that there were three separate theatrical versions with three different endings, which were tied together in the TV/VIDEO version into one movie with a Wayne's World style "here's how it really happened" ending that is generally considered to be the best version. Seriously, go watch it.

The cards corresponding to the guests, weapons, and rooms are shuffled, and then one of each is drawn and placed in an envelope in the center of the board. This represents the actual combination of who killed Mr. Boddy, what he or she used to kill him, and where he was killed. The remaining cards are dealt to the players.

This represents the actual combination of who killed Mr. Boddy, what he or she used to kill him, and where he was killed. The remaining cards are dealt to the players.

	Each player then rolls a [[d6]] in turn, and moves the corresponding number of spaces. The near-term objective is to get to a room, and then '''Suggest''' that Mr. Boddy was killed in that room, by some character (who is moved to that room) and with some weapon (which is brought to that room). The other players then must disprove the suggestion by showing the suggesting player that they have cards corresponding to the room, weapon, or person in the suggestion. Note that some [[Tzeentch\| clever/unscrupulous players]] ~~can~~ make ~~frivolous~~ suggestions to ~~draw~~ their ~~rivals across the board and hinder~~ their ~~own investigations~~.		Each player then rolls a [[d6]] in turn, and moves the corresponding number of spaces. The near-term objective is to get to a room, and then '''Suggest''' that Mr. Boddy was killed in that room, by some character (who is moved to that room whether they want to be there or not) and with some weapon (which is brought to that room). The other players then must disprove the suggestion by showing the suggesting player that they have cards corresponding to the room, weapon, or person in the suggestion. Note that some [[Tzeentch\| clever/unscrupulous players]] will make suggestions that they already hold cards for, either to zero in on information faster, drag players into their room before they can reach another, or to otherwise deny information to their opponents.

	By keeping track of what cards the other players have (and, more importantly, which cards they ''don't'' have), players try to work out which cards are in the envelope. A player who thinks he or she has the answer may make an '''Accusation''' in his or her turn, naming a character, weapon, and room, and check the envelope. If the accusation is correct, then the cards in the envelope are revealed and the game is over, with the accusing player winning. Otherwise, the cards are left concealed, and the incorrect player ~~is out of the game~~, ~~except to~~ show cards to other players who make suggestions.		By keeping track of what cards the other players have (and, more importantly, which cards they ''don't'' have, which can be worked out on opponents turns), players try to work out which cards are in the envelope. A player who thinks he or she has the answer may make an '''Accusation''' on his or her turn, naming a character, weapon, and room, and check the envelope. The player is allowed to make a '''Suggestion''' on the same turn as their '''Accusation'''. If the accusation is correct, then the cards in the envelope are revealed and the game is over, with the accusing player winning. Otherwise, the cards are left concealed, and the incorrect player takes no more turns, but still must show cards to other players who make suggestions.

	~~An odd quirk is~~ the ~~names of~~ suspects ~~are re-used~~ for ~~the names of the~~ player ~~tokens; it may~~ be that ~~the "Professor Plum"~~ player ~~wins~~ the game ~~by correctly announcing that "Professor Plum" is the suspect card in the envelope!~~ Some versions have fluff that explains that if that is the case, the player, rather then publicly admitting to the murder, has taken the evidence, and covered up the murder so that he gets away with it.		Since the player characters themselves are all suspects, it's possible for a player's own card to be in the envelope. This does not prevent that player from winning the game, or being eliminated due to an incorrect accusation. Some versions have fluff that explains that if that is the case, the player, rather then publicly admitting to the murder, has taken the evidence, and covered up the murder so that he gets away with it (or fails to get away if they were eliminated). Should all but one player be eliminated (a very rare event), that player may enter any room unopposed, and thus wins by default.

	There is also the question of which of six weapons was used to kill him (the Candlestick, the Knife, the Lead Pipe, the Revolver, the Rope, or the Wrench) (you would think it'd be pretty obvious what weapon was used, but still...), and which of the nine rooms in his mansion he was killed in (the Ballroom, the Billiard Room, the Conservatory, the Dining Room, the Hall, the Kitchen, the Library, the Lounge, and the Study) (and you'd think this would also be obvious). The "master detective" version of the game is exactly the same with a larger board, 12 rooms, 10 suspects and 8 weapons.
