In the shadowy halls of Boddy Mansion, a mystery unravels in the 1998 Windows game, Clue: Murder at Boddy Mansion. This digital adaptation of the classic board game transports players into a world of intrigue and deduction. The game faithfully recreates the beloved formula of Clue, tasking players with solving the murder of Mr. Boddy. Players choose from the iconic characters like Miss Scarlett, Colonel Mustard, and Professor Plum, each with their own motives and secrets. The game has the same objective as the board game it is based on: to find the murderer, the room which housed Mr. Boddy/Dr. Black's demise, and the weapon used. In addition to play by the original rules, Clue has an additional mode that allows movement via "points". Each turn begins with nine points and every action the player takes costs points. The player can only do as many things as he has points. For example, moving from square to square costs one point, making a suggestion costs three points. Many players prefer this mode of play as it makes the game more balanced since each player gets the same number of "moves" each turn.
