It’s the 80th anniversary of Parker Brother’s (Hasbro) Monopoly® but not the game. It just had a 110th anniversary!
Originally invented by Lizzie Magie (Phillips) under the name The Landlord’s Game®, it took on it’s better known name between 1904 and 1909. If you are interested, a limited edition of the first published version from 1906 is being made available on pre-order through LandlordsGame.Info.
Also out this week is a great new book on the history, The Monopolist by Mary Pilon. Mary is a staff writer for The New York Times and did five years of extensive research on the history. The book is available on Amazon.
