History Creator / MiltonBradley

Milton Bradley has also manufactured licensed board games for many years, ranging from mere themed variants of their other games, to whole games based off a show or franchise (many game shows took this route, such as ''Series/{{Concentration}}'', ''Series/{{Password}}'', ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'', ''Series/EyeGuess'', ''Series/ThreeOnAMatch'', ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' and ''Series/{{Blockbusters}}'', among many others), including things you wouldn't think they'd base a board game off of (ie. ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'', ''Series/HannahMontana'').

Many of their most popular board games include ''[[TabletopGame/GameOfLife The Game of Life]]'' (invented by Milton Bradley himself), ''TabletopGame/CandyLand'', ''Pretty Pretty Princess'', ''Girl Talk'', ''Chutes & Ladders'', ''Twister'', ''TabletopGame/{{Yahtzee}}'', ''TabletopGame/{{Battleship}}'' and ''Last Chance'' (originally manufactured by ''Ravensburger''). The company also published 8 video games for the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem and UsefulNotes/GameBoy (''California Games'', ''VideoGame/CaptainSkyhawk'', the portable version of ''TabletopGame/{{Scrabble}}'', ''World Games'', ''Cabal'', ''Marble Madness'' and ''Abadox: The Deadly Inner War'').

Milton Bradley itself was taken over by Creator/{{Hasbro}} in 1984 and, up until recently, was retained by Hasbro as a brand, much like Parker Brothers (which they bought in 1991 alongside Kenner and Tonka); however, both names seem to have been phased out in favor of a unified ''Hasbro Gaming'' brand. It is a publisher of board games and sometimes video games. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Milton Bradley marketed a series of games, such as ''TabletopGame/{{HeroQuest}}'', in North America that were developed in the United Kingdom by Creator/GamesWorkshop (GW). These games drew heavily from GW's ''Warhammer Fantasy'' universe, albeit without explicit reference to the ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' product line.

Unlike Milton Bradley, Creator/{{Hasbro}} kept the trademark of ''TabletopGame/{{Scrabble}}'' and turned it into much more girlier versions (in partnership with Tween Brands, Inc. and Fundex) such as ''TabletopGame/{{Scrabble}}'' Limited Too Collector's Edition and ''TabletopGame/{{Scrabble}}'' Justice Collector's Edition.

Milton Bradley also manufactured licensed board games from different companies including Disney, ''Creator/{{Nintendo}}'' (Pokemon Master Trainer), ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'', Power Rangers, Teletubbies, Sesame Street, ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats1985'', Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sweet Valley High, The Baby-Sitters Club, The Simpsons, Shrek, Nickelodeon (''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''), Beverly Hills 90210 and Star Wars.
