Founded in the year 186 by Milton Bradley himself, this company has a rich and deeply interesting story. It all started with a simple lithograph business in Springfield, Massachusetts. Milton Bradley revolutionized the toy industry when he invented "The Checkered Game of Life," which became the prototype for his future line of board games. Over the years, the company has brilliantly adapted to changes in the market, notably transitioning from individual handcrafted games to mass-production following the industrial revolution. Always innovative, this company brought us memorable moments like the hypnotizing "Twister" in 196s, breaking societal norms as people got tangled in laughter.
