🌟 DID YOU KNOW?
🧐 Monopoly originated from The Landlord’s Game, created in 1903 by Elizabeth Magie to highlight the dangers of land monopolies. The game featured properties, rents etc., inspiring homemade versions over the years. During the Great Depression, Charles Darrow encountered a version, redesigned it with iconic elements like railroads and the "Go" space, and sold it locally. In 1935, Parker Brothers bought Darrow's version, crediting him as the inventor. They later paid Magie $500 for her original design but largely ignored her contributions in marketing. Monopoly became a global sensation, with localised versions and enduring popularity as a cultural icon.
