Der ueberaus erfolgreiche Londoner Kinderbuchverleger und Herausgeber von Jugendmagazinen war ein Paedagoge mit klaren Prinzipien: Sein Verlagsprogramm, kuendigte Marshall in einem Katalog an, unterscheide sich von anderen dadurch, dass es frei sei vom "schaedlichen Nonsens der Maerchen, der Kobold-, Hexen- und Liebesgeschichten, die es im Ueberfluss gibt und die in den Gehirnen von jungen Menschen wenig sinnvolle Wirkung zeitigen". Der Aufklaerer (und gerissene Geschaeftemacher) setzte programmatisch auf Belehrung und auf die Macht des Wissens. 1818 publizierte Marshall The Chronological Star of the World. Das Spiel ist grafisch sehr anspruchsvoll gestaltet: Als Spielflaeche dient ein Stern mit 16 sich ueberlappenden Zacken, die jeweils vier bis sechs Felder enthalten. Weitere sichel- und kreisfoermige Felder finden sich zwischen den Zacken und am gewundenen Band, das die Spielflaeche umschliesst. Erzaehlt wird eine Weltgeschichte auf 109 Feldern, und zwar nicht als ein Sammelsuriurn von Geschichten, sondern als zielgerichteter Weg des Fortschritts, dessen Errungenschaften den Menschen Schritt fuer Schritt zur Vernunft bringen. Am Anfang (Feld 1) darf der Spieler einen Blick in den Garten Eden werfen, am Ende ist eine wehrhafte Goettin mit Union Jack am Schild und dem britischen Loewen hinter sich zu sehen. Sie weist dem Schiff Freiheit den Weg, in der Hand traegt sie ein Flugblatt mit der Aufschrift: "Zum Ruhme Britanniens Sklavenhandel abgeschafft". Auch wenn die Regeln des Spiels und die Beschreibungen verloren gegangen sind, lassen sich viele der Stationen auf dem Weg zur Freiheit bestimmen. Zunaechst dominieren biblische Themen wie die Sintflut (2). lm Laufe des Spiels werden aber auch Momente der technischen und zivilisatorischen Entwicklung der Menschheit hervorgehoben, wie die Erfindung der Schrift (8), das Muenzwesen (18), Entdeckungsfahrten (11, 33), die Etablierung von Gesetzen (30) oder die Einfuehrung der arabischen Zahlen (58). Praesentiert wird die Entwicklung der Astronomie (34), der Raederuhren (96), des Teleskops (83) oder des Heissluftballons. Ein besonderer Moment, der ein prominentes Feld beansprucht, ist die Deklaration der amerikanischen Unabhaengigkeitserklaerung im Jahr 1776 (98). Wie bei Hegel ist der Lauf der Geschichte im Spiel zwar eine Einheit, zugleich aber auch ein dialektischer Prozess, in dem Gegensaetze in Permanenz aufeinanderprallen. Die gloriosen Momente werden staendig von martialischen Szenen unterbrochen. Spielregeln (Vorschlag) In einem Zeitalter, in dem uns der Glaube an Fortschritt und die Teleologie der Historie ein wenig abhandengekommen sind und geschichtsphilosophische Skepsis das Bewusstsein der Menschen dominiert, liesse sich The Chronological Star of the World vielleicht am besten als Konversationsspiel spielen. Wer durch Wuerfelwurf ein Feld betritt, muss den positiven Beitrag zum Fortschritt, den das Bild zeigt, argumentieren, ein Gegenredner wird diesen Fortschritt in Abrede stellen und das Gegenteil behaupten, Danach wird ueber Rede und Gegenrede abgestimmt. lst der Fortschrittsoptimist glaubwuerdiger, so darf er die Punktezahl verdoppeln.
