Monopoly is a classic multiplayer strategy board game where players roll dice to move around the board, buy and trade properties, and charge rent to drive opponents into bankruptcy. Originally invented in 1903 by American left-wing feminist Lizzie Magie to highlight the flaws of monopolies in economic systems, it was officially released by Parker Brothers in 1935 and gained global popularity. By 2015, over 275 million copies had been sold worldwide, making it a part of international pop culture. The board typically has 40 spaces, including 22 properties, 4 railroads, 2 utilities, and other functional squares. Players buy and develop properties, collect rent, and use Chance and Community Chest cards, with the goal of bankrupting all opponents to be the sole winner. Translated into over 46 languages and released in more than 113 countries, Monopoly has spawned numerous versions and related media, beloved by players worldwide.
