Re: Have you ever played...Ouija Board?Very interesting, thank you(Original post by Clip)
I'm not a toy historian, but I believe that they were marketed as "an oracle to explore the subconscious" or something. Earlier versions before Parker Brothers (ie not sold as a board game) were certainly sold as novelties and did mention "fun", "amusement" and certainly implied it was a party trick. There was no explicit or implicit connection with the occult or anything outside the subconscious of the players.
