Cluedo

History of Cluedo

Cluedo es un juego de mesa publicado por Leisure Genius en 1985 para el ZX Spectrum.

Based on the well-known board game, we take part in a challenge of investigation and shrewdness, in which luck also counts. A murder has been committed at the Tudor Close mansion, and no one, including us, is free from suspicion. The programme provides us with all the tools to be as faithful as possible to the original game.

Dr. Black has been found murdered in his own mansion, and everyone is a suspect in the crime. Solve the mystery and unmask the culprit!

How to play Cluedo

The programme faithfully follows the development of the board game, with the winner being the first to identify both the murderer and the weapon used, as well as the room where the murder is committed, in an indictment. To do this, the cards are shuffled at the start of the game and dealt to each player, discarding 3 cards that will identify the murder.

In each turn the player can roll the dice and move around the rooms of the mansion, and make suggestions to the other participants by making them show their cards. As the game progresses, suspects are discarded until the moment comes when it is clear who the guilty party is, at which point we can make an accusation. If we get it right, we will have won the game.
