Hasbro Hasbro is the company I most admire. This is because they are pioneers in the board gaming industry. Even if you have a very basic knowledge of board games, chances are, you have at least one of their games. In addition to being the leading name in board gaming, they are also reknowned for their toy division. The company was formed in 1923 by Hilal, Herman, and Henry Hassenfeld as “Hassenfeld Brothers�. They were originally a textile and school supply manufacturing company. By 1940, they began their move into the toy industry, producing modeling clay, doctors and nurse kits, and Mr. Potato Head. They realized this was a more profitable industry, and thus changed their name to Hasbro. Nowadays, it is hard to find anyone who knows of their humble origins, and some people are shocked to learn that Hasbro is not the only manufacturer of board games. They have many smaller competitors, but in the end, Hasbro is the king.
