Monopoly – History
The history of Monopoly can be traced back to 1903, when American anti-monopolist Lizzie Magie created a game which she hoped would explain the single tax theory of Henry George. It was intended as an educational tool to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies. She took out a patent in 1904. Her game, The Landlords Game, was self-published beginning in 1906.
Charles Darrow played the game at a friend's and afterwards distributed the game himself as Monopoly. After the game's excellent sales during the Christmas season of 1934. Parker Brothers bought the game's copyrights from Darrow. When the company learned Darrow was not the sole inventor of the game, it bought the rights to Lizzie Magie's patent for just $500.
Parker Brothers began selling the game on February 6, 1935. The original version of the game in this format was based on the streets of Atlantic City, New Jersey.
In 1991, Hasbro acquired Parker Bros. and thus Monopoly. Before the Hasbro acquisition, Parker Bros. acted as a publisher only issued two versions at a time, a regular and deluxe. Hasbro moved to create and license other versions and involve the public in varying the game. There is a version of Monopoly based on Lethbridge.
