where does the marco polo game come from
Marco Polo (game) The game shares its name with the 13th-century Italian trader and explorer Marco Polo.[4] Some etymological sources[who?] say it was named after him. The game, or at least the wording of the game likely originated from the 1938 movie The Adventures of Marco Polo.[citation needed] In act 1, scene 2, a gondolier is seen paddling through a Venice canal, repeatedly calling out for Marco Polo. (He is eventually found gambling in the apartment of a beautiful woman.). As a Venetian, Marco Polo's association with water would seem logical.
