Neat neat neat! Check out this exhibition on the history of games. "In "Pastimes and Paradigms: Games We Play," visitors can peruse early nineteenth-century geographical board game; a Civil War game; games designed to boost support for women's suffrage; a vintage Monopoly game; gambling punchboards; and a collection of games based on television shows. The concept behind the collection is the importance of games as a reflection of society and culture, and their subtle effect on politics, education, morality and other important issues of the day."
