Jonathan G. Nelson of AAW Games LLC put me in contact with his friend, Doug Davidson of Smiteworks, who was developing this prototype game. Wizards of the Coast’s parent company, Hasbro, owns the rights to the classic Clue boardgame, and they’d previously published a version with the 3rd Edition of Dungeons and Dragons in the early 2000s. The prototype was presented to Hasbro staff at their annual conference in LA. While the prototype received great praise, it turns out that great minds think alike: Wizards already had a different D&D themed Clue game in production (finally released in November 2019). Thus, our version never saw the light of day.
