| description | Little has been written in the United States about American boardgames and the way they reflect the evolution of the culture in which they were created during the short 140-year period. The author has attempted to pull together information culled from books and articles covering a broader prospectus, while engaging in original research of game company histories and, more importantly, documenting the products themselves. The purpose of this article is to examine the growth and development of the game industry within the United States, with a look at the products and the trends that defined the industry, and the culture in which they flourished. Though the commercial development of board games in the United States is, by European standards, an industry still in its infancy, American games form a capsule history of the experiences of a young country, from the industrial development of the mid-1800s to a corporate America tangled in takeovers as it propels itself into a new millennium. |
