When Cosplay and Board Games meet...

You know when you go to conventions, and there's always random non-anime/manga/game/subculture costumes? The trekkies, the Johnny Depp Willy Wonka's, the disney characters? I really appreciate all of these extracurricular cosplay endeavours, but here's one I bet you never thought of: Board Games.

More specifically Clue.
Now let me give a little back ground ony Clue. There's a movie, it's pretty good, kinda has a Rocky Horror-esque feeling (minus the singing) meets Beetlejuice. And more importantly it's a well-known board game with a pretty distinguished cast of characters. And here it is in it's cosplay incarnation:



Cosplayer credits (that I could find) are:
Shiva as Mrs. Peacock
Gale as Miss Scarlet

It was taken at Anime Boston, whose theme was conveniently "Detective Mystery".

As one of my all time favorite games to play, this picture blew me away. Not only is it a really neat shot, all the costumes are spot-on and it's a really creative idea. I'm plesantly surprised that there are indeed more artistic uses for what appears to be hotel furniture than merely waiting for an event to start. Kudos to you guys ^_^.
