Content Description

The Utah and Mormon Board Game Collection contains board games concerning the state of Utah, cities and regions in Utah, and the Church of Latter-Day Saints. Many of the games are variants of popular games, such as Monopoly (e.g., Monopoly: Utah Edition produced by Parker Brothers and the unofficial variants like Utahopoly, LDSopoly, Salt Lakeopoly, Evanstonopoly, and Cache Valleyopoly), while others are modeled after the gameplay of well-known games (e.g., Settling Zion is modeled after Settlers of Catan, Rivers and Rods is modeled after Chutes and Ladders, Cues'n Clues is modeled after $20,000 Pyramid).
