"Ah, Just One More Thing..."

 This week I found out that back in 1974, there was apparently a Columbo board game, based on the popular TV show of the same name.

Presumably this was a Clue-like game, which involved one player assuming the titular detective's identity and solving a crime by relentlessly annoying the other participants until they confessed their guilt. 

Kids the world over couldn't get enough of Detective Columbo and his offbeat investigative style in his weekly series, so I'm sure this game was a huge bestseller! Fun!

By far my favorite thing about this game is the fact that the makers of it clearly couldn't afford the rights to use actor Peter Falk's likeness, so they just drew him from the back, knocked off early and spent the afternoon in the local bar!
