"Mr. Ree! The Fireside Detective!" was the first board game of its kind. Touted by Selchow and Righter as a "total thriller", this who-dunnit was the game that inspired an entire genre of mystery games, including "Mr. Who" and "Clue"!This enjoyably innovative game was first put on toy store shelves in 1937, and instantly became a hit! Originally
the game was packaged in a 12-inch square indigo blue box with gold
edges that housed the eight character tokens made of colored cardboard
tubes (one version had wooden tubes) with removable caps, the 4 metal
weapons, (apparently these were changed to cardboard during the war
years), instructions, and a deck of 102 playing cards.
