puzzles are and comes up with
the idea of Scrabble.
In Scrabble players pick seven letter

Players get bonus points for using
certain squares on the board and
using letters like Q and Z. The
player with the most points at the
end of the game wins.
Monopoly
USA, 1934. Charles Darrow invents
the Monopoly board game and
makes the first 5000 sets of the
game himself.
The aim of the game is to make as
much money as possible. In order
to do that players buy, sell and rent
property. One by one, the players
run out of money and the last
player left is the winner. Today,
Monopoly is the best selling board
game in the world with sales of
over 200 million sets in different
countries.
