- The_Mansion_of_Happiness abstract "The Mansion of Happiness: An Instructive Moral and Entertaining Amusement is a children's board game inspired by Christian morality. Players race about a sixty-six space spiral track depicting virtues and vices with their goal being The Mansion of Happiness at track's end. Instructions upon virtue spaces advance players toward the goal while those upon vice spaces force them to retreat.The Mansion Of Happiness was designed by George Fox, a children's author and game designer in England. The first edition, printed in black ink using a copper plate engraving, produced only a few hundred copies. Later in 1800, a second edition was printed, again using a copper plate engraving and black ink but lettering was included on the game board dedicating the game to the Duchess of York. Laurie and Whittle published a third edition in 1801 with black ink from one engraved copper plate and gold ink (which includes real gold) from another engraved copper plate, again for the Dutchess of York. Printing gold not only added another color but homage to royalty. In all three editions, the paper was glued to linen so it could fold up and be inserted into a heavy attractively labeled cardboard case.W. & S. B. Ives published the game in the United States in Salem, Massachusetts on November 24, 1843. It was republished by Parker Brothers in 1894 after George S. Parker & Co. bought the rights to the Ives games. The republication claimed The Mansion of Happiness was the first board game published in the United States of America; today, however, the distinction is awarded to Lockwood's Traveller's Tour games of 1822. The popularity of The Mansion of Happiness and similar moralistic board games was challenged in the last decades of the 19th century when the focus of games became materialism and competitive capitalistic behavior.".
