In 1934, in the midst of the Great Depression, an unemployed heating engineer from Pennsylvania created the game of Monopoly. Realizing that his get-rich theme might appeal to other Americans, he had the game printed and distributed in a Philadelphia department store. When he couldn't keep up with the overwhelming requests for more sets, he arranged for Parker Brothers to take over the game. And the rest, as they say, is history. But Monopoly is far from a quaint historical relic. To this day, it remains a riveting game of luck, chance, and savvy wheeling and dealing--all of which can make some lucky dog rich, rich, rich! Based on the purchase of Atlantic City real estate (a city currently renowned for its get-rich gambling opportunities), Monopoly is now printed in 26 languages with more than 200 million sets sold worldwide. Players still scoot the same beloved board pieces: the old shoe, the terrier, and the hot rod. This set also includes rules for a shortened version of the game and a new token, winner of Monopoly's recent "design a token" contest. This is capitalism at its most fun and ruthless, a must-have edition in the family game closet. --Gail Hudson

Customer Reviews of Monopoly
Most Famous Game Ever Plain and simple, Monopoly is the most famous game of all-time. And if there is a greater game out there, I'd love to see it. Just think about it --- Boardwalk, Get Out of Jail Free, Community Chest, the kooky game pieces --- they are all classic Americana. Relatively easy to play, Monopoly is also educational. Where else can kids -- or adults for that matter-- learn about money management, real estate and the ups and downs of life in such a fun filled environment? Fun, afterall, is what games are all about and Monopoly has been thrilling players the world over for 70 plus years. In fact, I can't think of a better way to spend a cold, rainy day than to spend it with a couple friends, a few snacks and a long game of Monopoly! Great for families, although perhaps a bit difficult for children under 10.
