"Interesting book for those looking for how a corporation develops into a household name. Good for general entrepreneurs, but also for those who grew up w/ Parker Bro. games and have a bit of time on their hands to read a non-fiction book. Well-written.

"Very interesting to read all about the history of our favorite board games. The story behind the next is even more fascinating than the prior one. There are clear connections between what was happening in the country (and world) and each game's invention. All of the most popular games are here, like Scrabble, Monopoly, Clue, Risk, etc. Their stories, and impact, are covered in depth. Fun, educational, and a very entertaining read."

“Skillfully written, excellent advice not only on how to play Monopoly successfully but also on how to manage your real-life money and make smart economic decisions. Much recommended.”
