Parker Brothers' games have, over the years, played a large part in our gaming lives. But not many people know much of the company's history. In this board game documentary, we will chronicle the history of the game company that gave us such great games as Monopoly, Risk and Clue.

Thank you so much for doing this video! I am a huge fan of board game history. I knew most of this but never got to see it in a video format.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for this lesson in "board game history!" Parker Bros. was the Mercedes of board games. Like the Parker brothers themselves, we were a family with 3 sons as well (youngest here). We owned and played several of the games you showcased in your video back in the early '70's. Whosit?, The Inventors, and The Magnificent Race are a few of my favorite PB games not included in your video. Thanks for this trip down memory lane!

You're welcome! There wasn't enough time to touch on all their games - there were just too many! But I'm glad it provided you with some nostalgia!

[@PaulTesta]

@LegendaryTactics I totally understand. I really enjoy the colorful artwork on many of the Parker Bros. games of the '60's and '70's. Miss those days.

My friends and I would play Pro Draft all the time. We would use our own football cards so we could draft our favorite players. And I played a lot of Little House on the Prairie with my sister. @@LegendaryTactics
