In this episode, we cover the 1830 murder of Captain Joseph White, the panic that followed, the Knapp brothers’ disastrous scheme, and the courtroom drama that made the case famous. Then, we follow the paper trail into board game history, comparing early Clue / Cluedo editions, Parker Brothers marketing, and the houses most often linked to the game’s design...and we'll even meet a few ghosts along the way.
