The classic board game Cluedo is being revamped with a brand new look and gameplay in 2023. Published by Hasbro, the popular board game tasks players with solving a murder using the power of deduction. Under the current rules, the first player to discover the killer, the murder weapon, and the crime scene is crowned. The remaster will change things up, featuring a brand new story, reimagined cast, new game board and more.
The goal of the new and improved game Cluedo is to find out who killed Boddy Black.
Hasbro explains more: “When six handpicked guests arrive at Boden ‘Boddy’ Black’s mansion after receiving a mysterious invitation, no one is sure what to expect.
“But when their host dies after revealing a sinister blackmail scheme at dinner, pressure builds to solve the mystery.”
While the game takes place on a 20″ x 20″ canvas that resembles a classic Tudor mansion, the set itself is said to resemble Boddy Black’s office, with evidence of blackmail.
Elsewhere, the generic pawns used in early versions of the game have been replaced by sculpted figures made of metal.
The simplified weapon pieces have also been revamped, with Hasbro selecting items that have a “captivating and aesthetically pleasing feel”.
The cast of characters is a mixture of old and new, including Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Mayor Green, Chef White, Solicitor Peacock, and Professor Plum.
According to a Hasbro spokesperson, the new version of Cluedo is a more diverse offering that better reflects its gamers.
“For years, Cluedo-inspired mysteries have thrilled fans around the world with countless game night interrogations, time-honored entertainment classics, and collective moments of iconic pop culture, and today we have a game that more accurately reflects the diversity of its players.
“This next chapter of Cluedo invites even more immersive gameplay as players see themselves in a complex murder-mystery-solving experience.”
The revamped Cluedo board game will be available later this summer.
