Description

Meet the man in the back of the board games: Milton Bradley.

Born in Maine in 1836, Milton Bradley moved along with his circle of relatives to the working-class city of Lowell, Massachusetts, at age 11. His early life consisted of a couple of highs and lows, from graduating high school and attending Harvard to getting laid off and losing his first wife. These experiences gave Bradley the idea for his first board game: The Checkered Game of Life. He produced and sold Life around the country and it quickly turned into a national sensation. Working along with his company, the Milton Bradley Company, he continued to produce board games, crayons, and kid-friendly school supplies for the remainder of his life. He’s continuously credited as the father of board games, and the Milton Bradley Company has created Battleship, Jenga, Yahtzee, Trouble, and lots of more classic games.
