So even though the story about Magie selling the patent for the game for a mere $500 and no royalties may sound heartbreaking, she would probably just be glad that people are playing the game – and getting really, really angry while doing so.Make this wildly different Monopoly game a favorite go-to game for game nights and other fun get-togethers. The tax reform in her game was based on the ideas of economist Henry George, who argued that private ownership of land was a major cause of poverty and inequality – an idea she wanted to promote. Magie included the option for players to introduce tax reform, which she said “would benefit everybody by equalising and opportunities and raising wages”. In short, the game was designed to really cheese you off. “By this simple method one can satisfy himself of the truth of the assertion that the land monopolist is monarch of the world.” “This the players can prove for themselves and they can also prove what must be the logical outcome of such a system, i.e., that the land monopolist has absolute control of the situation. “ The Landlord's Game is based on present prevailing business methods. “The inevitable result will be that one player will own everything on the board,” she said in early game rules. Magie called her version The Landlord’s Game, where the objective was to become the wealthiest player.īut Magie’s real objective behind creating the game was as a teaching method, making a statement about how the real estate market was skewed to profit few individuals and essentially screw over the others.

So the fact that people are now being encouraged to be dodgy as all heck just to get ahead really speaks to the purpose of Monopoly. It was originally created by Lizzie Magie, an anti-capitalist, feminist writer, in 1904 as a demonstration of just how effed the damn system is. It’s interesting to see the game evolve in such a way when you consider its history. 'Players are in control of the bank on their turn, and pass it to the next player when their turn is over, making it easier to pull of ‘cheats’ such as the bank heist.'

'For the first time in Monopoly history, there is no designated Banker,' says Berkowitz. The other changes to the rules are completely cooked.

'We've finally decided to embrace our less-than-honest fans by encouraging them,” Hasbro senior vice president Jonathan Berkowitz told Kirsten Acuna.
