Did you know there was a National Puzzle Day??
Yup, and this year we're helping to celebrate
National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductee Milton Bradley, a pioneer of gaming!
Founding the Milton Bradley Co. in 1860, Bradley invented the Checkered Game of Life to lift people’s spirits during the Civil War. The Checkered Game of Life quickly became America’s favorite parlor game and owes it's current design to the 100th anniversary edition, which brought a new board and 'the wheel of life', and changed the game's name to simply Life.
We still have our original game set from 1970!
What about your family?
Or do you have a more modern set, from when Hasbro, the largest game and puzzle maker in the world, acquired the Milton Bradley Co. in 1984?
No matter which game you have, let's play a game tonight in honor of Milton and the years of fun he's brought each of our families!
