Description
For thousands of years, board games have been a source of entertainment for people across the world. The 1920s and the 1930s were generally kind to the American gaming industry. Following the shortages of World War I, in the 1920s people were given a license to have fun again. During the Great Depression of the 1930s out of work Americans had lots of time on their hands and games could be played and replayed after just one purchase. The Great Depression also saw the popularization of what would become the preeminent American board game of Monopoly.
