A woke anti-capitalist communist or something along those lines invented Monopoly.

I used to spend many hours/days playing Avalon Hill WWII board games. That was a blast. My wife didn’t think too much of it though.

The game was originally invented by some woman in the late 1800s. The Parker Brothers did to her what Ray Kroc did to the McDonald’s brothers.

I had two sets of Feudal 55ish years ago.

I think I kept those games when we did a house clean out a year ago.

I had a ton of those, and a ton of SPI hex grid war games. I think I kept maybe half a dozen when we moved. Hadn’t touched them in decades.

Now, if you land on a particular property that you like, you can claim squatter status, refuse to roll the dice on your turn, and collect rents from other players who land on the property.

I still have this game. You can travel around the board on the Welfare Promenade or the Working Man's Rut. Guess which path is easier and more lucrative?

I had “Anti-Monopoly” by Ralph Anspach. You brought indictments against Oligopies, Trusts, and Monopolies instead building houses. Ironically, Hasbro/Parker Bros. successfully sued them to get it off the market.
