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.

A. they make some pieces very available and other pieces very unavailable. The point is you really have almost no chance of winning big prizes, that is how they engineer it. They just want you to keep buying boxes of fries thinking that you might actually win.

A. Do you mean Duel Masters? If so: not much, I'm afraid. Boardgamegeek currently lists it as the worst of all the Monopoly games. Maybe you can get a few bucks for it on eBay or Craigslist?
