Monopoly is a real-estate board game for two to eight players. The player's goal is to remain financially solvent while forcing opponents into bankruptcy by buying and developing pieces of property. Bankruptcy results in elimination from the game. The last player remaining on the board is the winner.

Each player is given $1500 in cash divided as follows: two each of $500's, $100's, and $50's; six $20's; five each of $10's, $5's, and $1's. All remaining cash and other equipment go to the Bank.

It's more than simply a game of chance and strategy; it's also strikingly analogous to our real-world economy. Monopoly players go through economic events including property purchases, rent payments, taxes, and even bankruptcy, making it a fascinating microcosm of our actual financial system.

the Landlord's Game Monopoly, arguably the most-famous board game, was for a long time attributed to Charles Darrow but the original idea was that of Lizzie Magie, a Quaker and the creator of the Landlord's Game, which bears striking resemblance to its more-popular successor.

Like any other board game, monopoly requires some patience, logic and intelligence to win. It also requires players to count money at hand.

Monopoly hammers home the importance of diversifying a real estate portfolio–a valuable lesson in real life. Don't gamble by going all in on one investment: for instance, stay away from purchasing (and developing) only one property, to the exclusion of others.

Monopoly Lifesized is a fast-paced, physical game requiring participants to move around the board completing escape room style challenges. Each player will be on their feet for the duration of the game (approx. 75 mins). We welcome all to join the fun, at your own discretion.

The Monopoly board game originated during the Great Depression. At first its inventor, Charles Darrow, could not interest manufacturers. Parker Brothers turned the game down, citing “52 design errors.” But Darrow produced his own copies of the game, and Parker Brothers finally bought Monopoly.
