Q On Oct. 28’s Everwood, Gregory Smith brings several travel-size board games to the hospital where pal Emily VanCamp’s beau is having surgery. But Clue is notably large; he says there’s no mini-version. Really?

A No foul play here. Although there is a scaled-down Clue Jr. (involving the mystery of missing toys), a pint-size Professor Plum is a lead-pipe dream. ”It just wouldn’t work,” says a Hasbro rep, citing all the tiny components. But Everwood’s one-on-one Clue game wasn’t completely accurate. Says exec producer Greg Berlanti: ”What we didn’t realize — and it was too late because we already shot it — was that you can only play with three people or more.”
