Parker Brothers' board game "Taking the Fort" is a war-themed game, probably aimed to appeal to boys. Many war-themed games at that time appealed to boys more than to girls. The blue-uniforms on the box cover graphic probably refer to Union soldiers during the American Civil War. The game's board also features a battle theme.
