During Cluedo's long history, eight unique Clue editions were published in North America (1949, 1956/1960, 1960/1963, 1972, 1986, 1992, 1996, and 2002), including miniaturised "travel" editions. However, only three distinct editions of Cluedo were released in the UK – the longest of which lasted 47 years from its introduction in 1949 until its first successor in 1996. The eighth North America and fourth UK editions constitute the current shared game design. International versions occasionally developed their own unique designs for specific editions, although most drew on the designs and art from either the US or UK editions, and in some cases mixing elements from both, while localising others – specifically suspect portraits.

At the beginning of play, three cards—one suspect, one room, and one weapon—are chosen at random and put into a special envelope, so that no one can see them. These cards represent the solution. The remainder of the cards are distributed among the players. The North American versions of Clue also replace the character "Reverend Green" from the original Cluedo with "Mr. Green". This is the only region to continue to make such a change. Minor changes include "Miss Scarlett" with her name being spelt with one 't', the spanner being called a wrench, and the dagger renamed a knife. In the 2016 U.S. edition, the knife was changed to a dagger. Until 2003, the lead piping was known as the lead pipe only in the North American edition.

Cluedo (also known as Clue in North America) is a popular board game designed for 3-6 players. The objective of the game is to solve a murder mystery by correctly deducing who killed the victim, in which room, and with which weapon. At the beginning of the game, each player is given a set of cards that contains the suspect, weapon, and room cards, and one of each of these is randomly selected and placed in a secret envelope, which represents the solution to the mystery. Players take turns rolling dice and moving their token around the board to different rooms, where they can make suggestions about the murder by naming a suspect, a weapon, and a room. The player to their left then shows them one of their cards that match the suggestion, if they have any.How One British Soldier Turned a Parlor Game into Clue by Mary Pilon at mentalfloss.com.
