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…

Uh-oh, Columbo’s at the door…

Miss Scarlett?

With the gun?

“Oh, just one more thing…”
