Mestres da Invenção

A incrível criação de alguns dos brinquedos mais icónicos de sempre aconteceu por acaso. No decorrer da II Guerra Mundial, um engenheiro naval inventou acidentalmente uma espiral que desce escadas, ao tentar arranjar uma forma de proteger o equipamento de navegação de danos. Em simultâneo, um engenheiro tentava inventar uma borracha sintética para o esforço de guerra, acabando por produzir uma estranha massa que se tornaria mais um brinquedo mundialmente famoso.

But the Parker brothers threaten Bradley's reign. But it's a game about Monopoly that will upend the business. And in its earliest days, it might have been pirated from its true creator, who has been largely lost to history--until now
