According to Greene & Martin in The Oz Scrapbook (p. 174), "In 1921 Parker Brothers issued The Wonderful Game of Oz, a parcheesi-like game whose folding playing board was a large map of Oz, beautifully lithographed in colors, with all the Oz characters shown in their proper locations..." The characters moved along the Yellow Brick Road according to their throws.
