you game? Columbo

A rainy Friday. Good day to pull out another ’70s TV show board game. How about a little Columbo circa 1973, the year after our house was built.

Dressed in a trench coat (no matter how sunny L.A. is) with ever-present cigar in hand, Peter Falk played Lieutenant Columbo to be disheveled, clumsy and bumbling. You’d never guess he was a genius homicide detective. He was the Monk of his day.

Object: Be the first player to figure out whodunit, with what weapon. And what was the motive for the crime.

As far as I can tell, the Columbo game is Clue only with hipper decor…

    Looks like Peter Falk never signed away the rights to his likeness! I’m sure he lost BUCKETS O’ DUCKETS in the board game royalties!
