Cluedo (Clue) uses six standard weapons in most editions: a candlestick, dagger (knife in some editions), lead pipe, revolver, rope, and wrench. These are the traditional tools depicted on the game cards and used to solve the mystery.
Additional context:
- The classic UK/early versions typically list: Candlestick, Dagger/Knife, Lead Pipe, Revolver, Rope, and Wrench. Some North American editions use slightly different names for a couple of items (e.g., Knife vs Dagger, Lead Pipe vs Lead Piping, Wrench vs Spanner), but the same six-weapon framework remains.
- The six weapons are commonly shown as distinct icons within the game components and are central to the deduction mechanics, with players questioning suspects and rooms to determine which weapon was used.
If you’re curious about minor regional naming variations or want a quick visual reference, I can summarize edition-specific name differences.
