Parker Brothers’ “The Game of Authors” was a card game introduced in 1897 and is considered one of the earliest examples of the modern card game genre. Developed by the renowned board game company Parker Brothers, the game was designed for literary and educational purposes. It featured groups of cards, each depicting a famous author along with notable works attributed to that writer. The objective was to collect sets of cards representing specific authors.
