Cluedo Reinvention, also known as Clue Reinvention is a 2008 board game designed by Hasbro to be the successor to the world-famous game Cluedo.

The game was created in an effort to update what some considered to be an old-fashioned game. The original game will be replaced with Reinvention beginning in the fall of 2008, but possibly be brought back as Clue Classic.

Changes from Original Game

The six suspects from the original crime have been updated to include first names and more modern-day lifestyles. Also, the lead piping has been removed from the list possible weapons used, and a bat, an axe, and a trophy have been added, bringing the total number of murder weapons up to nine. In the North American version of the game, the lead pipe, revolver, and wrench have all been dropped from the game and replaced with the dumbbell, trophy, and poison.

The nine rooms on the board have been changed to (in clockwise order):

*Hall
*Guest House
*Dining Room
*Kitchen
*Patio
*Spa
*Theatre
*Living Room
*Observatory.

The characters have been reinvented to become (old name/new name, occupation):

*Miss Scarlett becomes "Kasandra Scarlett", a famous actress often featured in tabloids.
*Reverend Green becomes "Jacob Green", a go-to guy "with all the ins".
*Colonel Mustard becomes "Jack Mustard", a former football player.
*Professor Plum becomes "Victor Plum", a billionaire video game designer.
*Mrs Peacock becomes "Eleanor Peacock", a manners freak from a political family.
*Mrs White becomes "Diane White", an ex-child star seeking the spotlight. A new deck of cards has been added to the game: the Intrigue cards. This deck consists of two types of card: Keepers and Clocks. Keepers give the drawer special abilities, such as the ability to look at another player's cards. Of the eight Clocks, the first seven that are drawn do nothing. The player who draws the eighth Clock is "killed" by the murderer, and is out of the game. However, this new game-play device creates a problem. Given the deduction method of an ordinary Clue game, the outcome is random. Thus, supposing the player who plays Jack Mustard gets murdered, but then the solution is revealed to be, "Mustard with the Dumbbell in the Spa" suggests murder and subsequent suicide.
