Description
How do board games reflect America? How do debates over politics and identity show up in popular games? And how have these games shifted along with the nation?
In this holiday encore presentation of an August episode, Heather and Joanne discuss the development of the American board game, from the influence of the Game of the Goose in Early America, to the pre-Civil War origins of the Checkered Game of Life, to several impactful 1960s games.
