PROVIDENCE, R.I.—Who will win The Game of Life? A federal court in Los Angeles will hear testimony in a lawsuit over who owns the rights to one of the most popular board games of all time. Lorraine Markham also says she was cut out of more than $2 million (U.S.) in royalties by Klamer and Rhode Island-based toy company Hasbro. Klamer said he went into Milton Bradley’s archives and found the company’s first game, The Checkered Game of Life, which he said served as the inspiration to develop the game that is now called The Game of Life, according to court papers. Markham wants a declaration that her late husband was the sole inventor and creator of the game.
