Monopoly board game

Monopoly is one of the world's most iconic board games, originally derived from 'The Landlord's Game' which was created by Elizabeth Magie in the early 20th century to demonstrate the negative aspects of private monopolies. The game was later commercialised by Charles Darrow and sold to Parker Brothers in 1935.

Today, the brand is owned by the American multinational Hasbro, Inc. Monopoly is produced in various editions worldwide, with manufacturing facilities located in multiple countries including the United States, Ireland, and China to serve global markets. The brand has expanded from traditional board games into digital apps, video games, and numerous licensed versions featuring popular culture themes.
