Board Game Fun Facts
As our final project will be to design some sort of board game, I thought it would be good to do a little research on them.
-The world's oldest board game dates back to 2500 BC (Or BCE depending on your preference) and was discovered in the royal tombs of Iraq in 1927
-More than 250 Million copies of Monopoly have been sold since the game's creation in 1903.
-In 1936, a propaganda board game named "Juden Raus" (Or, "Jews Out!" in English) was sold by the nazi party.
-A Flash game version of "Pandemic" was released with a twist- instead of stopping the outbreak, your goal is to continue it and wipeout humanity. It gained popularity and was followed by a sequel, "Pandemic 2"
