Game Makers: the Story of Parker Brothers, from Tiddley Winks to Trivial Pursuit
Philip E. Orbanes
The Monopoly game, Trivial Pursuit, Clue, Boggle, and Risk are more than games - they're part of Americana. This work presents a study of successful business expansion. It also gives an account of how one individual's strength of character - or weakness - exerted a significant influence over a company's fortunes.
