TREASURES FROM THE PAST

BY DEEKSHA
 TYPES-
• CARROMS
• MONOPOLY
• AND
SCRABBLE
 CARROMS
THE CARROM WAS ORIGINATED IN THE 18TH CENTURY,
INVENTED BY THE INDIAN MAHARAJAS. FROM MANY
GENERATIONS, THE CARROM BOARD GAME HAS BEEN PLAYED.
AFTER THE FIRST WORLD WAR, THE GAME OF CARROM BOARD
GAINED MORE POPULARITY. IT IS AN IDEAL GAME TO PLAY AT
HOME BECAUSE IT HAS DEFINITE SIZE AND A SIMPLE DESIGN.
 MONOPOLY
MONOPOLY IS DERIVED FROM THE LANDLORD'S GAME,
CREATED IN 1903 IN THE US BY LIZZIE MAGIE, AS A WAY TO
DEMONSTRATE THAT AN ECONOMY REWARDING INDIVIDUALS
IS BETTER THAN ONE WHERE MONOPOLIES HOLD ALL THE
WEALTH. IT ALSO SERVED TO PROMOTE THE ECONOMIC
THEORIES OF HENRY GEORGE—IN PARTICULAR, HIS IDEAS
ABOUT TAXATION.
 SCRABBLE
AMERICAN ARCHITECT ALFRED MOSHER BUTTS INVENTED
THE GAME IN 1938. SCRABBLE IS PRODUCED IN THE UNITED
STATES AND CANADA BY HASBRO, UNDER THE BRANDS OF
BOTH OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, MILTON BRADLEY AND PARKER
BROTHERS. MATTEL OWNS THE RIGHTS TO MANUFACTURE
SCRABBLE OUTSIDE THE U.S. AND CANADA
