🧩 💡 You might recognize 19th century toymaker Charles Martin Crandall’s “Pigs in Clover” puzzle from having played a modern iteration of it, but what you probably didn’t know what it was called that! ☘️ 🐷
Pigs in Clover made quite a splash when it first hit the scene in 1889, apparently becoming something of an obsession for many Americans. Perhaps the most famous example concerns its popularity amongst politicians during the Presidency of Benjamin Harrison, who was rumored to be personally fond of the game.
The story goes that Senator from New York, William Evarts, bought the game from a street vendor and ended up playing it for hours, even bringing it with him into the senate chambers the following day. After seeing the hand-held game on Evarts’ desk, Missouri Senator George Graham Vest became enthralled and asked to borrow it. Senator Vest then hid away in a cloakroom to play uninterrupted but was soon joined by five other senators. A page was sent to purchase five more games so that the men could participate in a “pig driving contest” with Vest emerging triumphant after 30 minutes, according to reports from the Tribune. Can you beat Senator Vest’s time? Download Second Avenue’s Original Mobile Games app (now available for Android/iOS) and find out!
Fun Fact! The Senate loved Pigs in Clover just as much as they did in 1889 when our team showcased OMG on the Hill last June as part of an event organized by the
