Cluedo kills off one of its own characters!

Mrs White has been “killed off” in a revamp of the board game, Cluedo, but who did it – and why?
Although the board game was created in 1923, this is the first time Hasbro has “killed” a character since 1949.
Mrs White, who was the housekeeper at the mansion owned by Dr Black, will be replaced by Dr Orchid, who has a PhD in plant toxicology (which sounds very suspicious!).
Interestingly, Dr Orchid is said to have been homeschooled by Mrs White!
As part of the revamp, 5 characters have had an upgrade, except for Colonel Mustard.
It’s believed that the upgrade is an attempt to modernise the game and move away from gender stereotypes.
For those who haven’t played the game, it involves finding out who killed who, with what, and where.
