SynopsisThis beautiful and nostalgic pictorial celebration of board games will transport readers back to a simpler time, when child' s play didn' t involve video games or computer screens of any kind.

They include "Animal Crackers," which dates from 1883; "Across the Continent" (1888); the ever-popular children' s favorite "Candyland "(1938); "Nurse Ames" (1944); the mystery game "Clue" (1950); "Elvis" (1958); and many more.
