I was a huge fan of the Cluedo board game as a child and the Colonel is such a great character.

Following in the vein of "luxury" editions of family boardgames, Dunhill released a custom edition of Cluedo designed by British game maker Geoffrey Parker.

In the UK, Cluedo did not start using "The Great Detective Game" marketing slogan until the mid-1950s, which it continued using until the 2000 edition when it adopted the "Classic Detective Game" slogan.

Marketing Cluedo was originally marketed as "The Great New Detective Game" upon its launch in 1949 in North America, and quickly made a deal to license "The Great New Sherlock Holmes Game" from the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle estate.

Merchandising The Clue and Cluedo brands are well-merchandised through umbrellas, books, toys, clothing and other miscellaneous items.

The first standard English language Cluedo game to feature a bedroom and bathroom (as well as an upstairs), it marks a return to the classic formula of 6 traditional weapons, and classic locations, albeit with a younger cast of characters.

The standard edition of Cluedo comes with six basic tokens representing these original characters: * Miss Scarlett (Miss Scarlet in North American versions after 1963) is a red piece.

The UK would finally adopt this style only in its third release in 2000, prior to which Cluedo boxes depicted basic representations of the contents.
