| Aristoplay believes there is more to history than names, dates and
events. Individuals, lifestyles and daily hardships are important to
know about, too. Made for Trade offers a fun way to personalize
history by putting children in the shoes of a colonist. Players get
to experience a time and place that's all-American, the beginning of our
country's very existence, and yet surprisingly different from the lives we
have today.
The game also offers a first-hand try at living in a barter
community. Unlike today, money is scarce and so players must trade
home-made goods for necessities. Whether you are Christian Fairhill,
Eliza Oglethorpe or any of the other colonists, you get the chance to
journey through the colonial town on the game board and live the early
American life. Perhaps you are an indentured servant trying to buy
your freedom or the customs official who can collect taxes. You can
visit shops, trade on Market Day or catch the latest news at the Tavern.
Unique Features:
 | Beautifully illustrated game board depicts a colonial village.
|
| Information sheet compiled by staff of Winterthur Museum describes
the historical uses of the objects in the game. |
| Instructions for four different games included:
 | Shillings: A simple card game that plays like
"Spoons." Players collect cards of objects that

| Tourist: Get a glimpse of colonial life as you make your
way around the early American town trying to be the first person

| Trader: Start the game as an indentured servant and buy
or trade your freedom and wealth. Ages 10 and up. |
| Shopper: Make your own inventory list of objects to buy
