We’ve all played monopoly. The game can be found in many family homes and normally gets dragged out every festive season. But do you know the history behind it, and the fact you’ve actually been playing the ‘bad’ version?

Well I never knew that, Paul.. fascinating 👍
nice
Since I was a kid watching older kids playing the game, I’ve wondered why it was called Monopoly! Thank you.
I hate this game. 😒 When I was younger my family played it then we got down to me and my brother and everyone went broke and kept ending up in jail and I kept landing on his places. I gave up and went to my room.. 😭
I always thought it was a good lesson in landlord/tenant rights…namely, landlords rule and people pay too much.
Sounds like a good brainwashing tool
Parker brothers have destroyed thousands of friendships and families 😅
of course they dropped it. It might have attracted too much attention for their friends at vanguard and black rock
Interesting background for the game.
Interesting facts, thank you
I think you can still find the things online to recreate the Prosperity version
Wow. That's worth knowing!
Well I never, indeed!
That right bruva👍🇬🇧💯🙏
Yes INDEED been waiting for someone somewhere to mention HENRY GEORGE and the thing the new world should have embraced 🗣️🙏🇬🇧💯😍🆘😵😱☠️🤫

Excellent Paul; TY!!!!🕵🏆
🐥When my 4 Sisters and I were younger we'd play Monopoly and I'd always🦹🏻♀️catch'm cheating!🤦🏻♀️So, when they wouldn't stop I hid most of the pieces.😂I liked to play🃏Poker, my🕊Dad taught me to🧮count cards.
💭However, though the name's changed it doesn't mean much cuz there's still £money-grabbing$

I wonder if this is why I never liked the game. 🤔.
I think I have a vague recollection of once being told we could cooperate with each other but I could be wrong.
suks
Where do you find this stuff!
I like this dude. I see his videos pop up sporadically on my feed and he’s no nonsense and very informative. Keep up the good work sir. Much obliged for the content you create. I really appreciate it.
Huh…I’ll have to drop this tidbit next time my store sells a copy. Which will absolutely be tomorrow. The Monopoly display is largely what draws people into the shop (board game store, some people only want the D&D stuff)
I prefer the bad version. I guess it's just what I'm used to and enjoy very much. 😉 But thanks for sharing. Well I never, knew that. 😊😁
When my family would play we used to do mergers if the game was to long
I used to play The Landlords Game as a kid at my great grandfathers house.
I have no idea how to play it🤣🤣
INKT. The Monopoly game board must be the most flipped game board in history, Due to the many arguments of the players
Please never do this format.
You put no effort into this story.
Forget playing it, we're now living it!
That's interesting. Thank you. ☺ 👍 👍 : )
I actually learned board games in general were invented to teach morals and life lessons. The original game of life was super depressing
The company stole the game from her I think after they had turned it down. I like the team idea. That sounds more fun.
I wonder if she created other games. Gotta Google the lady now. Sigh.
Huh… this is incredibly interesting…
Monopoly is the worst board game ever created. That’s an objective fact, not opinion.
I always thought it was bad because it contradicted the laws on monopoly.
Very interesting, the original is definitely a more accurate depiction of real life. Probably why they changed it.
