THE LANDLORD's GAME (LLG): Precursor to Monopoly / by Richard Biddle 8 October, 2019
THE LANDLORD’S GAME (LLG): Precursor to Monopoly / By Richard Biddle 8 October, 2019 The TV game show Jeopardy on September 5, 2019 posed this fact for its contestants’ response: THE ORIGINS OF THIS POPULAR HASBRO BOARD GAME GO BACK TO THE 1904 THE LANDLORD’S GAME. Of course, the correct answer was: “What is Monopoly?” But what was the original basis for THE LANDLORD’S GAME? The answer to this question is much less known. Over the past 15 years, I have lectured numerous times on the little known history of the origin of Monopoly, on the basis of my personal experiences. The history of the LANDLORD’S GAME is part of the material I incorporate. My involvement and fascination with the game started at age 5 when my 8 year-old brother first got me to play our 1936 edition of Monopoly. As I recall, my brother read the Monopoly “rules” in his favor, taking advantage of the fact that I was a pre-reader. It was a rare day if I won, and then it was usually the result of my cheating and lying about how I won, because the “rules” of the game were rigged against me. I quickly learned that there were a host of possible strategies to utilize in winning. I believe I witnessed some cheating in an adult Monopoly competition about 10 years ago. THE LANDLORD’S GAME is the precursor to and basis for the Monopoly game. Elizabeth Magie (in 1902-1903) invented the games as a means to educate people about Henry George’s political economics.

Monopoly Was Designed 100 Years Ago to Teach the Dangers of Capitalism 18 March 2019, by Benjamin Hoy
Monopoly was designed 100 years ago to teach the dangers of capitalism 18 March 2019, by Benjamin Hoy . Monopoly didn't become a hit until the Depression. Its original message that all should benefit from wealth was transformed to its current version —where you crush opponents by accumulating wealth —by its second developer, an unemployed heating engineer named Charles Darrow. By the mid-1930s, orders for the game had become so extensive that employees of Parker Brothers stared piling the order forms in laundry baskets. Games with meaning Many of the games in circulation today are more than a century old. Pitt (originally Gavitt's Stock Exchange) was made during economic panics, Credit: CC0 Public Domain railroad failures, speculation and anti-monopoly movements. Patented by Harry E.

Monopoly History
MONOPOLY BRAND HISTORY In 1935, Parker Brothers began selling the MONOPOLY property trading game, which would quickly become a cultural phenomenon. Now eighty years later, more than 1 billion people in 114 countries have played the game designed by Charles Darrow and based on the streets of Atlantic City, New Jersey. The images, colors and properties of the MONOPOLY game are now iconic pieces of pop culture. In 1933, Charles Darrow made a prototype of the new game using materials from around his home. He used a piece of oilcloth that had been a table covering for the game’s board, cut the houses and hotels out of scraps of wooden molding and typed the deeds and cards. The early mover tokens were actually charms from his niece’s charm bracelet. Darrow attempted to sell the game to Parker Brothers, but was initially rejected by Parker Brothers for “52 fundamental errors” that included the game’s length, theme and complexity. Undaunted, Darrow secured a copyright, manufactured the game and sold it at department stores in Philadelphia. Following the local success of the game, Parker Brothers reconsidered their initial rejection and negotiated the rights to market the game. On March 19, 1935, Parker Brothers acquired the rights for the MONOPOLY game from Charles Darrow and began selling the game shortly after in the United States. Within a year of the release of the game in the U.S., 35,000 copies of the game were being made each week. The game sold for about $2. Parker Brothers then granted licensing rights to the game in Europe to Waddington’s in London.

How Henry George's Principles Were Corrupted Into the Game Called Monopoly
How Henry George's Principles Were Corrupted Into the Game Called Monopoly Edward J. Dodson, December, 2011 History is filled with surprising stories of how people and ideas are connected. One such story is that of the origins of the most popular board game in modern history. It's an American classic: each new generation of Monopoly players learns to love (harmlessly) indulging its cutthroat, ruthless, greedy impulses. Players begin the game as equals. Luck — and a bit of strategy — eventually enables one player to dominate all others. That player ends up amassing a huge fortune in cash and real estate. Most Monopoly players don't know (or care) that this game was originally the product of a passion for social and economic justice. In the late 1800s, a young woman named Elizabeth Magie was introduced to the writings of Henry George by her father. She eventually became one of many people who took on the task of trying to teach others what she had learned from studying Progress and Poverty and George's other works. Collaborating with friends in her Brentwood, Maryland community, Elizabeth Magie created The Landlord's Game. She applied for a patent, which was granted on January 5th, 1904 (No. 748,626). She explained that the game was to be a "practical demonstration of the present system of land-grabbing with all its usual outcomes and consequences." While still a young, single woman, Elizabeth -- or "Lizzie" as she came to be called -- became a regular visitor to the Single Tax enclave of Arden, Delaware. This was around 1903.
