A very early Parker Brothers game (often mentioned in histories of the company), Battle of Manila is a Spanish American War boardgame with chromolithographed box lid and board with Manila Bay, 15.5' x 19.5' x 2' high.Unlike today's heavily detailed 'conflict simulations', this game apparently mainly involved hitting soldier targets on a board with hand held cannons firing wooden 'bullets'.This game did help cement Parker Bros. reputation as a patriotic American company, helping sales and its image with the American public. - BoardGameGeek
