Hasbro, owners of Cluedo. And she is being replaced with Dr Orchid...

For the first time since 1949, Hasbro is changing the core Cluedo game, knocking off one beloved character and replacing her with another.

Long-time housekeeper Mrs. White will no longer be part of the main game; instead, Dr. Orchid will be joining the ranks of Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet, and Mrs. Peacock.

Dr. Orchid marks the first major change to the Cluedo series since it launched, and with her introduction, the other five suspects have been given youthful revamps for the new set (minus Mustard, who remains significantly older).

Haven't played it for a long time but used to enjoy it. I can't see how changing a character will make any difference to playing the game. Free publicity for an aging product methinks!

An updated part of an old product, doing away with the outdated role of housekeeper and attempting to make it appeal to younger generations, I expect.

...Because, despite anglicising her name, she was originally from Poland and actually Mrs Biały...
