Actually, I don't need the actual font, just something close. Any ideas?

ITC Kabel Ultra is sorta close.

I found a closer match in an old Photo-Lettering, Inc. sample book, but the typeface is referenced by a number and not a name.

Parker Bros., originally in Salem, Mass., had a big in-house design and ad agency in its heyday. The game "Clue" probably pre-dates ITC which was founded in 1970, so if the game graphics hasn't been updated since then, it was probably done on using photo headline font.

Yes, I'm old, but I'm back in style!

Many thanks.

It's actually just for my sister, who wants to do some kind of Clue-themed game on her floor at school. So Kabel Ultra should work just fine.

Little Sister, with the candelstick, in the pantry!

This is actually Novell Gothic.

Novel Gothic. Typo in my post.
