Hello again
Not too long ago, I watched the second part of games britania, where it showed all of the top board games that are currently the best in the market to date. The program showed how they originally came to be the modern day product they are today.
It was interesting to see how T.V and the early videogames were starting to "threaten" board games and make them submit to the future technology. But the board game hasn't died, and is still going very strong today. It was particularly interesting when they were showing the history of how Monopoly was created and what it was originally called back then.
The program as a whole was a good watch, and I hope the finally part is just as good and descriptive as the first two parts, especially when the last part is going to looking into the growth of video games and how they made such an enterance into our world.
See you next time.
Hi Ollie,
ReplyDeleteI think Games Britannia is a great series. It's crammed full of fascinating information about the history and culture of board games.
You might add a bit more detail to your post: what, for example, do you find interesting about the development of Monopoly (and what was it called "back then")?
