About

This game features gameplay identical to the earlier (1958) Milton Bradley game Alfred Hitchcock Presents Why. Here, the theme is based on the popular detective television show Columbo. Players compete to be the first to either solve the mystery (collect four cards to create one figure, four cards to create one weapon, and one Motive card) or find Columbo (collect all six Columbo cards plus the one "It's a Mystery to Me" card). Contents: 1 game board, 2 six-sided dice, 4 pawns, 60 cards (24 suspect cards, 16 weapon cards, 6 motive cards, 6 Columbo cards, 1 "It's a Mystery to Me" card, and 7 "no clue" cards).
