Brief History
The first edition of History of the World by Ragnar Brothers was a small-press edition (with a tea-towel board). It was then republished by Gibsons Games and Avalon Hill. In 1994, History of the World won the Origins Award for Best Pre-20th Century Boardgame of 1993. After Avalon Hill was purchased by Hasbro in the early 2000s, History of the World was rereleased as a big box game with hundreds of plastic pieces. Ragnar Brothers released a revised version of the game, "A Brief History of the World", in 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
