Question: Which board game was invented first, Halma or Terra Mystica?

Context paragraphs:
Squatter (game): Squatter is a board game that was launched at the Royal Melbourne Show in 1962, invented by Robert Crofton Lloyd.  With more than 500,000 games sold in Australia alone, it became the most successful board game ever developed in Australia.  Superficially, Squatter has the appearance of a "Monopoly"-type game.  However, unlike Monopoly, all players remain in the game until the end.  Players each start the game with their own sheep station and aim to be the first player to improve and irrigate their pastures and then fully stock their sheep station.  Players run their sheep station as a business venture, to earn enough money to pay for the seasonal running expenses and to finance the improvements that are required to win the game.  The Squatter game presents players with a mixture of strategy and luck that reflects the many challenges facing any form of livestock raising.  These challenges include droughts, floods and bushfires, as well as disease, variable livestock prices, and luck.  In 1999, a version became available on PC CD-ROM.  However the PC version was not commercially successful and is no longer available.

Chinese checkers: Chinese checkers (US and Canadian spelling) or Chinese chequers (UK spelling) is a strategy board game of German origin (named "Sternhalma") which can be played by two, three, four, or six people, playing individually or with partners.  The game is a modern and simplified variation of the American game Halma.

George Howard Monks: George Howard Monks (1853–1933) was born in Boston, Massachusetts.  After graduation in Harvard medical school in 1880, he followed a 4-year internship in European medical centers during which he invented in 1883 the game Halma (ancient Greek for “jump”) derived from the British game Hoppity together with the mathematician Thomas Hill.  Halma and the derived Chinese checkers knew great commercial success in the following years.  He also invented a game called Basilinda.  Monks began the practice of surgery in Boston in 1884 as he was appointed district physician of the Boston Dispensary and, later, visiting surgeon to the Carney Hospital.  In 1890, he entered the Boston City Hospital and was promoted through various grades to surgeon-in-chief in 1910.  From 1886 to 1926 Monks was connected with the Harvard Medical School (Department of Surgical Anatomy) but more importantly with Harvard Dental School where he was appointed Professor of Oral Surgery.

Hex (board game): Hex is a strategy board game for two players played on a hexagonal grid, theoretically of any size and several possible shapes, but traditionally as an 11×11 rhombus.  Players alternate placing markers or stones (Go stones make ideal playing pieces) on unoccupied spaces in an attempt to link their opposite sides of the board in an unbroken chain.  One player must win; there are no draws.  The game has deep strategy, sharp tactics and a profound mathematical underpinning related to the Brouwer fixed-point theorem.  It was invented in the 1940s independently by two mathematicians, Piet Hein and John Nash.  The game was first marketed as a board game in Denmark under the name Con-tac-tix, and Parker Brothers marketed a version of it in 1952 called Hex; they are no longer in production.  Hex can also be played with paper and pencil on hexagonally ruled graph paper.

Halma: Halma (from the Greek word ἅλμα meaning "jump") is a strategy board game invented in 1883 or 1884 by George Howard Monks, a US thoracic surgeon at Harvard Medical School.  His inspiration was the English game "Hoppity" which was devised in 1854.

Damath: Damath is a two-player educational board game combining the board game "Dama" (Filipino word for Checkers) and Math.  It is used as a teaching tool for both elementary and high school mathematics.  Every piece has a corresponding number and each even (white) square on board has a mathematical symbol.  The game was invented by Jesus L. Huenda.  The game is commonly played in all elementary and secondary schools in the Philippines.  In 2017, some developments in the game was proposed by Annsherina Ramilo to accommodate the needs of students who have special needs .  The proposed inclusive version of the game rules was evaluated by a panel consisting of popular and respected Damath players such as Acey Edward Eli, Jocelyn Marie Gahol, Camila Villena, Ma.  Teresa Duran and headed by Lucienne Marie Andres .

Banknote seal (China): Cash seal (; ""Baochao"" means "valuable money", ""Yin"" means "seal"), is a kind of special seal used particularly in cash authority, or just on paper money or banknotes.  It was also one of the first three means that China invented first to distinguish real and fake paper money.

Ugolki: Ugolki is a two-player board game, similar to halma, that is typically played on an 8×8 grid board with 16 game pieces per player.  It is said to have been invented in Europe in the late 18th century.  Variations on the size of the board and the number of game pieces also exist.

Terra Mystica: Terra Mystica is a German-style board game for two to five players designed by Helge Ostertag and Jens Drögemüller.  The game was first published by Feuerland Spiele in Germany in 2012, and was later published in English and French by Zman Games and Filosofia Édition in 2013.  Feuerland Spiele released a second German edition of the game in 2013.

Basilinda: Basilinda is a board game that was created by George Howard Monks, the author of Halma.  Basilinda was first published and manufactured in 1890, by E.I. Horsman, a toy manufacturer from New York.  The game originally sold for $1.00 when it was released, and is said to resemble Chinese checkers.
