Get A (New) Clue!

Colonel Mustard will no longer be killing anyone with the lead pipe.

Murder goes glam.

It was Kasandra Scarlet in the guest house with the poison!

Board game favorite, Clue, is getting a makeover. This fall, toy titan Hasbro Inc. will roll out a new version of the game featuring younger characters, more weapons, and new rooms at a modern mansion including a spa, guest house, and theater. Murder is so chic!

The six characters' last names will remain the same, but now they'll have first names and back stories. Who is Miss Scarlet? She's Kasandra Scarlet, a famous actress often featured in tabloids. Jacob Green is African-American and has "all the ins." The professor is now Victor Plum, a billionaire video game designer. The colonel? Now Jack Mustard, a former football player.

New weapons include a dumbbell, trophy and poison. Sadly, the lead pipe, revolver and wrench are dunzo. We always loved the revolver, but poison is pretty dastardly. We think it's just about time for a Clue comeback. Bring on the rope!
