Uncle Wiggily (board game)
''Uncle Wiggily Game'' is a track board game based on a character in a series of children's books by American writer Howard Roger Garis. The game is of the "racing" variety in the style of the European "Goose Game". Players advance along the track from Uncle Wiggily's Bungalow to Dr. Possum's House. There is no optimal strategy involved as play entirely rests upon a random drawing of the cards. The game was first published by Milton Bradley in 1916 and has seen several editions with minor modifications over the years. ''Uncle Wiggily'' remains one of the first and favorite games of childhood, and, with ''Candy Land'', is considered a classic juvenile American board game.
==History==
Howard R. Garis created the character "Uncle Wiggily Longears" for a children's book in 1910. The game based on the children's story was first introduced by the Milton Bradley Company in 1916. Milton Bradley modified the game in 1923, 1949, and 1955. In 1947, the game cost $.67.〔Waggoner, Susan. ''Under the Tree: the Toys and Treats That Made Christmas Special, 1930-1970.''

Parker Brothers obtained the rights to ''Uncle Wiggily'' in 1967. However, in 1989 both Milton Bradley Company and Parker Brothers reintroduced different versions of the same game. Hasbro now owns both the Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley rights. The game is currently published by Winning Moves.
The number of spaces on the track, the number of decks of cards, and the number of cards have all fluctuated through the years with the various editions published. The game board has been illustrated several times. The counters have been produced in both painted wood and colored plastic figurines of Uncle Wiggily. The board game in the 50's had six painted metal (probably zinc) counters.
