Among its products were Monopoly, Clue (licensed from the British publisher and known as Cluedo outside of North America), Sorry!, Risk, Trivial Pursuit, Ouija, Aggravation, Bop It, Scrabble (under a joint partnership with Milton Bradley in the United States and Canada), and Probe.

[5] During the Great Depression, a time when many companies went out of business, Parker Brothers released a new board game called Monopoly.

The company continued to grow throughout the next several decades, producing games including Cluedo (released as Clue in North America), Risk, and Sorry!

[10] In early 1983, Parker Brothers spent US$15 million establishing a book publishing branch;[11] their first titles featured the American Greetings franchises, Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake.

[13] Parker Brothers also operated a record label around the same time; one of its releases, based on Coleco's Cabbage Patch Kids and involving Tom and Stephen Chapin titled Cabbage Patch Dreams,[13] was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in July 1984.

[14] In 1988, Parker Brothers struck a deal with Martindale/Gilden Productions to develop television game shows, such as Boggle.

[15] Tonka, including Parker Brothers, was bought in 1991 for about $516 million by Hasbro which also owned the Milton Bradley Company.

[16] Following the acquisition, Parker Brothers continued to have its corporate offices in Beverly, but production of the games were moved to Milton Bradley's headquarters in East Longmeadow.

[20] It began to produce electronic versions of popular Parker Brothers board games in the late 1970s.

The company was able to obtain the license for Star Wars games as Kenner Products was also owned by General Mills.
