it's all fun & games

The Mansion of Happiness (1843)
There's nothing like a good game night to get me smiling and laughing with friends or family.  The Library of Congress' Picture This blog recently posted A Look Back at Board Games, which features beautiful images of vintage gameboards (including the one to the left).  The gameboards are part of the Prints and Photograph Division's collections.  If you've never done so, check out loc.gov sometime and browse the vast number of digitized collections available--it's amazing!
