Roosevelt was president of the United States, three years into his effort to provide jobs, hope and security to the 20% of Americans who were unemployed. Programs like the Works Progress Administration A put many back to work. To help take their minds off of the tough times, people listened to the radio. Programs like the comedy “Fibber McGee and Molly,” adventures like “The Lone Ranger,” and the never-ending drama “One Man’s Family” entertained millions. There were sports on the radio, as well. The Detroit Tigers won the 1935 World Series, while the Detroit Lions became champs in the young National Football League. People went to the movies in droves, in these days before television. For a dime or two they could see Clark Gable in “Mutiny on the Bounty”, or Shirley Temple, the child star everyone loved, in movies like “The Littlest Rebel”. hen people went out, they dressed up. Women wore long skirts and men wore hats. Lucky children could dress in clothing endorsed by their Wfavorite stars. 1935 was the year that 20th Century and Fox studios merged to make Twentieth Century Fox. Improved electric lights made night baseball possible. And 1935 was the year that Parker Brothers, the nation’s leading game company, first made the MONOPOLY® game.

  • American Games: a Historical Perspective / by Bruce Whitehill
    American Games: A Historical Perspective / by Bruce Whitehill istorians investigating board games of the world have traditionally examined ancient or early games, using artifacts, drawings, and available text. From this, Hthey hoped to learn more about the cultures in which these games flourished, how the games moved from one territory to another (trade routes), and how they chan- ged and evolved in different cultures. Traditional classic games such as chess, checkers (draughts), Mancala, Pachisi, Mill (Mühle or Nine Mens Morris), Fox and Geese, and the Game of Goose, among others, have been studied in great detail by many scholars. Some of these games were played on quite elaborate, carved wooden boards, and, as such, they were available only to a privileged few. In the middle 1800s, however, advances in lithography and in techniques of the mass production of printed matter allowed games to be commercially produced in large quantities. They were also inexpensive enough to be affordable by the less affluent. This meant that games could reach a larger portion of the population, and become a staple in more homes. What purposes have games served in society? Were they recreational or were they intended as educational or instructional instruments? And who manufactured and sup- plied these games to the public? In the United States, a study of games poses one immediate limit for the researcher: the term “ancient” hardly applies to a country that was not formally “discovered” until 1492. Well into the 1800s, most board games played in North America were of European origin. Culin (1907) lists the board games played by the American Indians under the hea- ding “European games,” though games he categorized as “dice games” are actually board games that use dice to determine movement.

  • For 2-4 Players AGES 8 and up ABOUT the GAME
    If, at the same time, they touch other letters in adjacent rows, those must form complete words, crossword fashion, with all such letters. The player gets credit for all words formed or modified on his or her turn. 4. New words may be formed by: a. Adding one or more letters to a word or letters already on the board. b. Placing a word at right angles to a word already on the board. The new word must use one of the letters already on the board or must add a letter to it. (See Turn 2, 3 and 4 in example below.) c. Placing a complete word parallel to a word already played so the adjacent letters also form complete words. (See Turn 5 in example.) 5. No tile may be shifted or replaced after it has been played and scored. 6. Blanks: The two blank tiles may be used as any letters. When playing a blank, you must state which letter it represents. It remains that letter for the rest of the game. 7. You may use a turn to exchange all or some of your letters. To do this, place your discarded letter(s) facedown. Draw the same number of letters from the pool, then For 2-4 players mix your discarded letter(s) into the pool. This ends your turn. AGES 8 and up 8.

  • Monopoly Rules for 4 Players Appear First
    ® For 2-6 players, AGES 8 and up. MONOPOLY Rules for 4 players appear first. THE CARD GAME A BRIEF IDEA OF THE GAME On each hand you try to draw and trade cards to collect a Monopoly “color-group.” Property, House and Hotel cards can be combined to form and develop a color- group just as in the classic board game. Chance, Mr. Monopoly, GO and Token cards are known as “bonus” cards. They can have a big effect on the final value of your hand. Be the first player to collect $10,000 and you’ll win the game! THE DECK 60 cards comprise the deck: Property Cards (28) There is one Property card for each property space on the MONOPOLY game board. The color of the band behind the property’s name tells you which color-group it belongs to. This is how many cards comprise the complete color-group (2 or 3). When you collect the complete color-group it is worth this amount. House & Hotel Cards (16) There are 14 House and 2 Hotel cards. Each House card indicates if it is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th to be “built” on a complete color- group. You must build houses in order, from 1st through 4th, and you may only play hotels on complete color-groups with all four houses already built on them. There are 16 Bonus Cards: Token Cards (6) Tokens “land” on your color-groups, Railroads and Utilities. Token cards increase your winnings. Chance Cards (2) Chance cards are “wild” and can represent any card you need to complete your Set.
