Pass Go and Collect $200: The Real Story of How Monopoly Was Invented by Tanya Lee Stone

5.0

Fascinating! This is a great one for families who play monopoly. There's quite a story behind that game. It was sad to learn that what now feels like a tool to teach that you win when you have the most money and everyone else is poor was intended as quite the opposite. It was meant to show how unfair monopolies are and originally had a second set of rules that created a more fair game. Knowing this though, we've started to talk about that when we play and figure out ways we can share and help each other to stay in the game (the downside is I hate the game and it makes it go on forever that way!). There are more great discussion topics relating to intellectual property in this book! A+++
