I love playing Monopoly. When my family has game night we always vote for Monopoly. Monopoly can be traced back to the early 20th century. The game existed as early as 1902.The first version of the game was designed by an American, Elizabeth Magie.
Magie originally intended The Landlord’s Game to show the economic consequences of Ricardo’s Law of Economic rent. Georgist concepts of economic privilege and land value taxation. She also got the idea from the book The Monopolists: Obsession, Fury, and the Scandal Behind the World’s Favorite Board Game. She never expected for it to become a family game for everyone to play.
What is your favorite board game?
