The original Cluedo game

Number of players: 2 to 6 | Age rating: 8+.

The version I remember playing when I was young, was the 1970s version from Waddington. Using the following list of characters, rooms and weapons:
6 suspects/characters: Rev. Green, Col. Mustard, Miss Scarlet, Mrs Peacock, Prof. Plum and Mrs White.
9 rooms: library, billiard room, study, kitchen, ball room, conservatory, hall, lounge and dining room.
6 weapons: revolver, rope, candlestick, lead piping, wrench and dagger.

Description: The vintage game of Cluedo by Waddington is the original detective game. Players move from room to room in a mansion to solve the mystery of: who done it, with what, and where? Through deductive reasoning each player must figure out which character, weapon, and location are in the secret file. A great game for those who enjoy reasoning and thinking things out.
