The Columbo Board Game

The Columbo story aired from 1971 to 2003 with a total of 69 episodes. It was tremendously popular, especially during the 1970s, leading to merchandising efforts. Those projects included this board game published in 1973.

Board Game Geek says that it is structured identically to a 1958 game inspired by the works of Alfred Hitchcock. It has cards for weapons, suspects, and clues, but, sadly, no "Just one more thing" cards. Copies are available for sale on eBay, although they are pricey.

Notice that Columbo is facing away from the players. Internet rumor holds that choice is because the designers did not have permission to use Peter Falk's likeness.
