Clue: The Great Museum Caper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clue: The Great Museum Caper, (also known as Galerie der Diebe) was a spinoff of the board game Cluedo (Clue in Canada and the United States). It was produced by Parker Brothers and Waddingtons Games. Clue: The Great Museum Caper was originally produced in 1991, and production ceased soon thereafter. It took place in a museum, and was played with a thief and players. The museum is owned by Mr. Boddy, the murder victim in the original.

[edit] Brief gameplay

A game took up to an hour an average to play. It required a minimum of two players, but no real maximum. The players are attempting to catch the thief before he can take as many paintings as possible and escape. The players roll two dice: one standard 1-6 die, and a special proprietary die. The second die contains symbols that represent actions players can use. The thief can move up to the spaces per each player move, and does not use the gameboard to track his pawn. The players win by landing on the exact same space as the thief. The thief wins by escaping from the building with as many treasures as possible.
