Maker Challenge 9
Design your own board game
During the polio epidemic in the late 1940s, Eleanor Abbott, a retired school teacher, created the board game Candy Land. Designed to bring comfort and entertainment to young boys and girls impacted by the epidemic, her game is still beloved by children to this day. What new board game can you invent?
