"Goodbye, professor. Farewell, colonel.
Toy maker Hasbro Inc. has updated its classic Clue game for today's
tabloid culture to include younger characters, more weapons, and new
rooms, including a spa and guest house.
The six characters' last names remain the same, but their first names
and bios have been updated. For example, Miss Scarlet is now Kasandra
Scarlet, a famous actress often featured in tabloids. And Mr. Green is
now Jacob Green, an African-American "with all the ins."
Colonel Mustard is now Jack Mustard, a former football player. The
professor? Now Victor Plum, a billionaire video game designer.
Each character -- rounded out by Eleanor Peacock and Diane White -- also
now has a special power that could help players discover clues more
quickly. New "intrigue" and "clock" cards add clues and can eliminate
players in the latest version of the game.
Hasbro has also lengthened the weapons list from six to nine. The
candlestick, knife and rope remain, but now weapons choices include a
dumbbell, trophy or poison. The lead pipe, revolver and wrench are no
longer part of the game.
Meanwhile, new rooms include a theater, spa and guest house nearby."
