The Ouija board game is an American product that shares principles and traits with certain ancient Chinese guided-writing activities closely associated with the occult realm of the spirits, but is not a direct descendent of such. The Ouija board was a regional American game that was claimed, polished and trademarked in 1890. The exotic sounding name means nothing outside from the game itself. Early claims of the name's roots had been subsequently dismissed by many, including the man who took over operations of the company that produced the game.
