| Toys International Advertisement - November, 1975
Appearing on page 3 of the November 1975 Toys International, this Cluedo advertisement features the 1965/1972 game. In it, the makers point out an upcoming 15-second commercial. Unfortunately, twice they also point out the Monopoly game and feel the need to point out that Cluedo is a secondary favorite. Fortunately, the artwork is nicely done. An expected jumble of playing pieces is highlighted by the addition of a magnifying glass. Oddly, the purple pawn appears much darker than in the actual game. Here, it's almost black. Is it a trick of the eye? Or a trick of the advertisement? |

The advertisement reads:
Cluedo is hot on the trail of Monopoly. We introduced Cluedo - the Great Detective Game - in 1947. Today it's one of our best sellers, second only to Monopoly. And starting in September we're running a 15-second Cluedo television commercial to boost your sales even further. It could end up top of the public's wanted list. From Waddingtons. The makers of Monopoly. For all enquiries tick the reader information card Reference No 3 |
