Waddingtons

Encyclopedia : W : WA : WAD : Waddingtons

Waddingtons was a publisher of card and board games in the United Kingdom. The company was founded by John Waddington of Leeds, England and Wilson Barratt, under the name Waddingtons Limited. The name was changed to Waddington's House of Games, then John Waddington Limited, then Waddington Games, and finally just Waddingtons. The company sold both games published elsewhere by other publishers, and its own games; especially board game tie-ins for UK television programmes. The company was eventually bought by Hasbro.

Among the games published by Waddingtons were:

Cluedo
Monopoly
Totopoly
Subbuteo
Buccaneer
Risk
Careers
Go (not the Japanese game but based on world travel)
