Early 1900s saw Parker Brothers scale back on elaborate game sets in favor of card games, expanding their product offering with other toys such as wood jigsaw puzzles. Parker Brothers even imported British Ping-Pong fever into America through selling an identical board game known as Table Tennis which later changed into Ping-Pong!
What Is the Parker Bros Banner Lotto Game‘s Age? Its Though many manufacturers of games produced products during the mid and late 1800s, none achieved Parker Brothers’ Monopoly’s worldwide popularity. Parker Brothers itself began operations after the Great Depression had created an industry for games focused on speculation and wealth-building.
George Swinnerton Parker was only seventeen when he first created Banking, an abstract strategy game in which players borrowed money and attempted to leverage it through speculation. Although his creation proved popular with family and friends, Parker felt unconvinced his game would ever make it past two Boston publishers before giving up trying.
Parker Brothers revolutionized gaming during the 1970s with classic titles like Aggravation, Ouija and Bop It as well as several Monopoly spinoff games like Advance to Boardwalk and Invest in Yourself. Later acquired by Tonka who combined forces with Milton Bradley to form Hasbro which eventually disbanded but their classic titles remain available under that brand today.
Parker Brothers experienced a dramatic economic rebound following the Great Depression of 1930s and saw their sales skyrocket, giving them enough financial resources to create new games. One such game was Monopoly which featured emphasis on property ownership; this became one of their signature franchises that remains immensely popular today; no other proprietary game had achieved such widespread popularity before Monopoly did!
