How to Play the Computer Game Clue Murder at Boddy Mansion
"It was Miss Scarlet, with the rope, in the study." If you've heard those words spoken before, then you are familiar with the classic board game "Clue." The board game requires players to act like detectives and gather clues in order to make an accusation about who committed a murder. The computer version, called "Clue: Murder at Boddy Mansion," follows a similar scenario. You choose a character, roll dice, collect clues and eliminate suspects until you can make an accusation and catch the killer of Mr. Boddy.
