American Girl Dolls and the strategy board game Risk were inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame on Thursday in recognition of their influence on the toy industry. Sand, which the group called perhaps the most universal and oldest toy in the world, was also inducted… Military: link |

Well deserved. I'm a bit surprised that Battleship didn't also make its way in, given its ubiquity and heritage (especially as a game originally played with pencil and paper). |

Interesting and deserved, IMHO. |

Was that Sand or Advanced Sand? I think Sand lost its way around 3rd Edition. And no love for Twigs and Small Branches? |

The cardboard tube from a finished roll of toilet paper didn't win, but received Honorable Mention. |

How many times when trying to describe miniature wargaming have you heard, "So is it like Risk?" |

By 8th edition people got tired of the coarse, beach, Saharan, Gobi etc supplements making previous versions obsolete. |

@20th Maine. Still laughing out loud. You personify the aspect of TMP that I most enjoy. Well done. |

Full list of inductees link Interesting that the Cardboard Box was inducted in 2004 – later on Little Green Army Men and GI Joes as well |

Loved Risk, wanted the Napoleonic version when heard about it but price wasn't worth it. |

I am outraged! The swing is in, but no mention of the see-saw or slide! Monkey bars! The roundabout!! And – this really is outrageous – no Airfix. I don't know what these guys are smokin', but….. |
