UK Cluedo Game - 1949 (Small Box Version)
 
Box Cover
This smaller version of the 1949 game actually predates the larger version. This edition measures approximately 10 inches by 7 inches - thus making the board seperate from the box (this game does not have the board). The artwork is nearly identical with a few changes such as squeezing the artwork closer together and having added lines by the bloodhound's nose (indicating a sniffing motion). The cards and box feel much heavier and sturdier than those games which follow.
 
The Suspects: Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, Mrs. White,
Rev. Green, Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum
 
The Weapons: Dagger, Candlestick, Revolver, Rope, Lead Piping, Spanner
 
The Rooms: Hall, Lounge, Dining Room, Kitchen, Ball Room,
Conservatory, Billiard Room, Library, Study
