I would put money on Parchesi or Chinese Checkers... A board game that appeared very similar to checkers (called "Draughts" in Great Britain} was discovered in the ruins of the ancient city of Ur in modern day Iraq. This board game dates to about 3000 B.C. Checkers as we know it today has been around since 1400 B.C. In Egypt, a similar game was called Alquerque.

She sold the patent to Parker Brothers in 1935. Parker Brothers already had a version of this game that would soon take it's place...Monopoly by Charles Darrow that based on The Landlord's Game.
