Editing Cluedo (section)

==Worldwide differences==
Besides some rule differences listed above, some versions label the characters, weapons, rooms and in some instances the game itself differently.

In Canada and the U.S., the game is known as ''Clue''. It was retitled because the traditional British board game ''[[Ludo (board game)|Ludo]]'', on which the name is based, was less well known there than its American variant ''[[Parcheesi]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/cluemasterdetective.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021222120744/http://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/ClueMasterDetective.PDF |archive-date=2002-12-22 |url-status=live |title=Master detective.

The North American versions of ''Clue'' also replace the character "Reverend Green" from the original ''Cluedo'' with "Mr. Green". This is the only region to continue to make such a change. Minor changes include "Miss Scarlett" with her name spelled with one 't', the spanner being called a wrench, and the dagger being renamed a knife. In the 2016 U.S. edition, the knife was changed to a dagger. Until 2003, the lead piping was known as the lead pipe only in the North American edition.

In some international versions of the game (mostly the [[Spanish language|Spanish-language]] ones), the colours of some pieces are different, so as to correspond with the changes to each suspect's unique foreign name variations. In some cases, rooms and weapons are changed in addition to other regional variances.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://theartofmurder.com/table/cluedoboardgames/spain/spain.html |title=Spanish Cluedo Game |access-date=10 February 2022}}</ref>
