The game must have become quite popular in England as a third edition was printed using two copper plates, one for black, and the second for green lines to indicate blank spaces.

On all three editions George Fox was listed as the inventor and the game honored the Duchess of York.

In all three editions, the paper was glued to linen so it could fold up and be inserted into a heavy attractively labeled cardboard case.

It was designed by George Fox and published as a linen game board that folded into a hard cover booklet.

Since dice were called "the bones of the Devil" because they were used to determine which Roman soldier would keep Christ's loin cloth, teetotums were used instead.

Thayer's first and second edition litho stones were either no longer usable or ground down and redrawn for other lithographs.

On the new "black printing" litho stone the position of "Thayer and Company Lithographers" was moved.

Thayer was about to leave his Boston business for the final time, but finished the job for the Ives firm.

This sixth edition resulted from another need to redraw the green printing litho stone.

[8] There are at least two known copies of the Chandler edition, one was owned by deceased game historian Lee Dennis.

William and Stephen Bradshaw Ives dissolved their partnership on April 24, 1854.

[15] William then put most of his time managing his newspaper, The Salem Observer.

[16] A new Mansion Of Happiness print run was needed but Chandler was no longer in business, With control of the copyright, the Ives family chose lithographer F.F.

Consequently, Ives and Smith could sell The Mansion Of Happiness in Salem but had no right to the copyright.

In 1886, Henry P. Ives sold his remaining inventory to George S. Parker.

George S. Parker reprinted the green cover label to read H. P. Ives, Geo.

[24] The green printing and circle end space remained through different lithographers until 1886.

In 1926, Parker Brothers Inc. republished The Mansion of Happiness in its original form, with minor modification to game spaces.

The game included the circular end space introduced by J. Bufford in the third edition.

[28] Anne Wales Abbot was believed to be the designer of the Ives' game, The Mansion of Happiness for over 145 years, from 1843 to 1989.

[29] Anne Wales Abbot also designed The Game Of Racers for Crosby and Nichols of Boston, an Ives's competitor.

It seems that Abbot would have been working with Crosby and Nichols in Boston while the Ives firm published The Mansion Of Happiness.

The Mansion of Happiness was considered the first mass-produced board game in the United States for almost 100 years.

[22] When the last of the Ives brothers died in 1888, board game titans Charles and George Parker purchased the rights to The Mansion of Happiness.

A teetotum was no longer needed as a metal pointer could be attached to a lithographed card using a pop rivet.

[33][34] In 1895, the New York game firm of McLoughlin Brothers printed and published another version of The Mansion of Happiness.

[35][36][37][38] Because printing of game boards was more difficult in 1822 than 1843, the term mass market is a gray area.
