Clue was created in 1948, but I’ve only known about it since the 1980’s. But from then on it’s always been my favorite board game. I like the time period it takes place in, and I particularly enjoy how it’s a most unusual murder mystery in that it takes place at an upper-crust dinner party. I also love how each character is a different color, and the basic premise is that of logic and not chance. |
