The Popular Game of Broadway társasjáték

Angol leírás

The Popular Game of Broadway celebrates four of the historic thoroughfare's architectural landmarks:
The Metropolitan Life Towers (built in 1909) The Times Tower (1903), the Flatiron Building (1902) and the Woolworth Building (1913). The game offers players the thrill of the big city within the comforts of the parlor - a perfect armchair traveling experience. -- from the book The Games We Played by Margaret Hofer (2003).

This is a variation on Pachisi, strongly related to Milton Bradley's Parcheesi, but obviously, marketed by a competitor. In his biography of Parker Brothers, The Game Makers, Philip Orbanes describes Broadway as a deliberate attempt to re-theme their popular seller, Pollyanna, for boys. Ultimately, Broadway was dropped after the 1933 catalog, while Pollyanna persisted for most of another four decades.
