History of the board game Monopoly to Waddingtons was renegotiated (as was the Clue/Cluedo license to Parker Brothers/General Mills by Waddingtons). By 1974, Parker Brothers had sold 80 million sets of the game. In 1975, another anniversary edition was produced, but this edition came in a cardboard box looking much like a standard edition. Parker Brothers was under management by General Mills as the first six Monopoly Tournaments were held. See "The "Monopoly" Tournaments" below.

Mystery Mansion (board game) Mystery Mansion (board game) Mystery Mansion is the name of a series of board games in which players search furniture and other objects inside a mansion to locate a hidden treasure or stash of money. The first version of the game was released by the Milton Bradley Company in 1984, the same year when Hasbro took over that company. Instead of a standard game board, the original "Mystery Mansion" features a modular board where players build the mansion by adding new rooms drawn at random. Hasbro then released an electronic talking version under its Parker Brothers brand in the 1990s.
