Monopoly

Monopoly has been the world's best selling board game, since the 1930s. Over two-hundred million copies of the game have been sold world wide, and its popularity continues to grow. Still, with all its glory, can Monopoly measure up to its reputation on educational standards? Monopoly was the ingenious idea for a game, by a man named Charles B. Darrow. Darrow lived in Germantown, Pennsylvania during the 1930s. Darrow based the design of the game from memories of his earlier years spent in Atlantic City. Darrow introduced his creation to his close friends, and it rapidly became the preferred group activity. Monopoly consist of players, whom which go around the board buying property and collecting rent, all the while spending large sums of money. It's no wonder why these people of such poor economic times, loved to play Monopoly. In 1935 the first Monopoly game sets were distributed nation wide by Parker Brothers. The royalties that came from Monopoly made Darrow a millionaire. Monopoly has been a large part of pop culture throughout the years and continues to be so till this very day.
