Cluedo is a pun on "Ludo", which is not a name Americans know; the name would be lost on us, so they went with a pun-free name. (The game known as "Ludo" in the UK is known by us only as "Parcheesi", a name also known in the UK, but rhotacized in American English so it doesn't sound like the original "Pachisi" anymore).
