About this game
Kate Smith was a huge radio star with CBS during the 1930s and 40s, best known for her rendition of Irving Berlin’s God Bless America, which hit the charts for the first time in 1939. She hosted a series of radio marathons that brought in war bond sales of $600 million (more than $10 billion today). The inside of the unashamedly patriotic box is arranged to show an American flag, with a sheet of stars over the rules next to player tile racks in bright red and white.
