Piladex was patented in 1890 by Harry Owen Roberts, who then went on to found the company of Roberts Brothers with his brother John Owen Roberts. The example shown is a version manufactured between the two world wars.
Parker Brothers in America licenced Pillow-Dex in the USA.
The company survived until 1956, when it was finally closed, but in the meantime it had become for a while one of the biggest games-makers in the world.
My intention with this blog is to show examples of games ade by Roberts Brothers and also other makers when they seem particularly interesting or attractive.
