Now that many of us are at home with our family, you can play fun boardgames like Monopoly. Did you know that Lizzie Magie invented this game? Monopoly was originally called The Landlord’s Game and was a critique of the injustices of unchecked capitalism. The idea for Monopoly was stolen by Charles Darrow and sold to Parker Brothers. The company eventually tracked down Magie but only offered her $500 for her invention. Check out the link below for more information about her:
