Clue: The Great Museum Caper, (also known as Galerie der Diebe) was a spinoff of the board game Cluedo (Clue in Canada and the United States). It was produced by Parker Brothers and Waddingtons Games. Clue: The Great Museum Caper was originally produced in 1991, and production ceased soon thereafter. It took place in a museum, and was played with a thief and players. The museum is owned by Mr. Boddy, the murder victim in the original.

Brief gameplay

A game takes up to an hour on average to play. It requires a minimum of two players, with a maximum of four players. The players attempt to catch the thief before he/she can steal as many paintings as possible and escape. The players roll two dice: one standard 1-6 die, and a special proprietary die. The second die contains symbols that represent actions players can take. The thief can move one, two, or three spaces after each detective's move and tracks his/her pawn separately from the gameboard. The players win by landing on exactly the same space as the thief. The thief wins by escaping from the building with as many treasures as possible. The Rules suggest the thief should acquire at least 3 paintings... maybe more... no less.
