Monopoly is a board game published by Parker Brothers, a subsidiary of Hasbro. The game is named after the economic concept of monopoly, the domination of a market by a single entity. Monopoly is the most commercially-successful board game in United States history, with 485 million players worldwide.. According to the BBC, Monopoly is a redesign of an earlier game "The Landlords Game" first published by the Quaker and political activist Elizabeth Magie. The purpose of that game was to teach people how monopolies end up bankrupting the many whilst giving extraordinary wealth to one or few individuals. According to Hasbro, since Charles Darrow patented the game in 1935, approximately 750 million people have played the game, making it "the most played (commercial) board game in the world." The 1999 Guinness Book of Records cited Hasbro's previous statistic of 500 million people having played Monopoly. Games Magazine has inducted Monopoly into its Hall of Fame. The mascot for the game, known as Mr. Monopoly or Rich Uncle Pennybags, is a mustached man wearing a monocle and morning dress. BoardFrom Wikipedia under the

Q. Monopoly is my favorite board-game, I just saw a commercial for a new version, Electronic banking. Are they serious? A little girl saying she likes it because its fast and easy? No need to count money anymore. They took away the only part of the game that requires thinking. I can personally say that I will refuse to play the new version as it's just one more small step towards the dumbing down of american society.

The best part is to see all of the fake cash in the palm of your hands and feel great when your opponents only have $150 left in twenties and fives and ones... I think that "Getting Paid" feeling might go away with the credit card idea. Plus, laughing when someone is having a hard time counting $2000 when landing on Boardwalk w/4 hotels is great!
