Travellers' Tour Through the United States is a geographical board game published in 1822, thought to be the first board game produced in the United States.
[1] Travellers' Tour was also the first board game based on a map of the United States.
[1][4] At the time, the nation's westernmost states were Louisiana and Missouri, the latter of which had only gained statehood a year prior to the game's publication.
[1] Mansion of Happiness was also based on a previously extant British game, while Travellers' Tour was a wholly American creation.
[5] A sister game, Travellers' Tour Through Europe, was released a few months after.
