Five interesting facts you could learn by visiting websites in the MWCC Games & Gaming Directory:

• The original idea for the board game Monopoly was invented by a Quaker woman in 1904 to explain the single tax theory of Henry George.
• In 1941 the British Secret Service had the manufacturer of Monopoly create a special edition for World War II prisoners of war held by the Nazis, which contained hidden maps, compasses, real currency, and other objects useful for escaping. The games were then distributed to prisoners by the Red Cross.
• Magic the Gathering is the first example of the collectible card game genre and is still thriving today. It is played in over seventy countries with an estimated six million players joining in.
• Historically, Domino pieces were carved from ivory or animal bone with small, round pips of inset ebony. The name dominos comes from the resemblance to Venetian Carnival masks known as domini, which were white with black spots.
• A die can be "shaved" on one side, thus making it slightly smaller in one dimension, thus affecting the outcome of the roll.
