Have you ever played The Game of Life? The Milton Bradley Company developed the game in 1960 to celebrate its hundred-year history, which began in 1860 with The Checkered Game of Life. But don't expect to collect that dream job, car, spouse, and kids when playing this 19th-century game with a similar name.

The Checkered Game of Life is not about money - it's about virtue and morality. One of the earliest board games in the country, it offered Americans a welcome alternative to card games. Combining chance and skill to negotiate life's many challenges, players traversed a checkered board of colored squares representing the virtues of honor, truth, and temperance, or the vices of idleness, crime, and drink.

Naturally, players could not use dice, because they were associated with gambling; instead, they used a teetotum - a top with numbered sides. The game was tremendously popular, selling out its first run of 45,000 copies in less than a year. Reviewers praised the game for offering families an entertaining way of instructing children in the advantages of moral behavior.

Bradley skillfully promoted his product, including it in his collection of 'Games for Soldiers' - nine games on lightweight pasteboard marketed to Union soldiers during the Civil War. • Manufacturer: Milton Bradley Co. • Material: cardboard paper wood rubber wire glass • Origin: Springfield, MA • Object ID: 104.803.

16' square paper on board by Milton Bradley 1866. This was the first game produced by Milton Bradley of Springfield, MA.

It was invented and distributed during the Civil War. This version was produced shortly thereafter. This game was one of the first games with a purpose and taught a lesson of success through integrity and right living. The players pass thorough 'Infancy' to 'Happy Old Age' while passing through such squares as 'Truth', 'Matrimony', 'Ambition', 'Fame', 'Success', while avoiding such squares as 'Idleness', 'Ruined', 'Disgraced', 'Poverty' and even 'Suicide'.

These squares are all illustrated with appropriate drawings. The board has been mounted in a 16x16' brushed aluminum frame so the back of the frame is open. This exposes the back of the board with text 'The Checkered Game Of Life.' The front of the board shows little wear, just a touch of aging around the outside white border. All squares including illustrated ones have strong color.

A nice example of this interesting early game of morals ready to hang on your wall.
